| Abstract: |
Blue economy is defined as the ocean dependent economic development to improve the quality of life of people
while ensuring inclusive social development as well as
environmental and ecological security. India has committed to advancing the blue economy. The knowledge
about fishery resources, sea bed, marine minerals and
energy resources and vulnerability to natural hazards
is a pre-requisite for the growth and development of
the blue economy. The marine fish catch has been a
major source of income for one million fishers in India.
The technological development for product development
to be addressed for commercialization of deep-sea fishery. Geophysical surveys have provided information
about coastal placer minerals, gas hydrates on continental shelf and manganese nodules, hydrothermal
systems and cobalt crusts in high seas. The investment
in developing technologies and human resources for
harnessing these resources is being made. The coastal
and marine area spatial planning to be employed to
understand risks involved and accordingly, developmental activities to be planned. The economic growth prospects beyond 2030 will be limited without large
investments in ocean environments. An accounting system to be developed to bring together disparate data
sources, both economic and environmental. An institutional framework for implementing activities related to
blue economy to be set up. Investments in sustainable
development of oceans will pay rich dividends for future
generations and benefit humanity. |
