The Blue Economy and the United Nations’ sustainable development goals: Challenges and opportunities
Lee, KH et al., Environment International Energy Solutions Fisheries & Aquaculture Plastics & Pollution Shipping & Ports Tourism
The “Blue Economy (BE)” is an increasingly popular concept as a strategy for safeguarding the world’s oceans and water resources. It may emerge when economic activity is in balance with the long term capacity of ocean ecosystems to support the activity in a sustainable manner.

Alexander C. Kaufman Fisheries & Aquaculture
When winter fell on this quiet, wooded island, instinct took over. Birds flew south. Trees shed leaves. Dain Bichrest set his alarm for 3 a.m. Reaching a calloused hand through the frigid darkness, he silenced the device, stretched and started a routine that finished with the sea captain boarding his 42-foot boat and voyaging two hours into the Gulf of Maine to fishing grounds teeming with Northern shrimp. It became so routine he’d start to wake automatically.

Jouffray, JP., et al., Science Advances Fisheries & Aquaculture
Can finance contribute to seafood sustainability? This is an increasingly relevant question given the projected growth of seafood markets and the magnitude of social and environmental challenges associated with seafood production. As more capital enters the seafood industry, it becomes crucial that investments steer the sector toward improved sustainability, as opposed to fueling unsustainable working conditions and overexploitation of resources.

Rubio, N., et al., Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems Fisheries & Aquaculture
Cellular agriculture is defined as the production of agricultural products from cell cultures rather than from whole plants or animals. With growing interest in cellular agriculture as a means to address public health, environmental, and animal welfare challenges of animal agriculture, the concept of producing seafood from fish cell- and tissue-cultures is emerging as an approach to address similar challenges with industrial aquaculture systems and marine capture.

By delivering Blue Bonds for Ocean Conservation in as many as 20 countries over the next five years, TNC will help ensure the new protection of up to 1.5 million square miles (4 million km2) of the world’s most biodiversity-critical ocean habitats – a 15 percent increase in the amount of protected ocean that currently exists.Read more → (7 minute read)
Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries & Aquaculture
Seafood is a highly nutritious, renewable, low-carbon food source – but only if it’s managed sustainably. Unfortunately, the trends continue to go in the wrong direction, with the latest UN figures showing that a third of all fish stocks have been overexploited. Overfishing – along with pollution, climate change and other pressures – has pushed our oceans to crisis point.
