During the Scoping Phase, studies identified seven emerging economies in the Global South with growing ocean industries. The research included a review of Ocean Stewardship Coalition strategy documents, academic studies, benchmarking, and expert interviews across diverse countries. In the longer term, as the project evolves, more Ocean Centres may be established beyond the initial seven.
Each selected country produced a national Blue Economy report, outlining key opportunities and challenges related to its expansion, as well as workforce and infrastructure preparedness. These insights shaped the project's four Action Areas.
These countries bring unique expertise and resources, providing valuable insights into tackling ocean safety challenges, identifying risks early, and fast-tracking solutions.
Their voices must be heard on a global scale.
