Social equity indicators for a Blue Economy
Social equity goals are specifically stated in most new ocean management and development plans, notably those aligned with a Blue Economy that recognizes the significant and rising inequities across ocean spaces and sectors. However, the deeper significance of social equity has still not been fully integrated in policy and management practices, which often ask why it is relevant and how it can be measured in ways comparable to more familiar ecolo…

From concept to practice
Despite an international enthusiasm for private capital to meet the financing gap in sustainable development, private sector finance for sustainable development and blue economy is still a very small percentage of global investment. Repurposed bonds and debt for nature swaps have gaining support with policy makers, international organizations, and investors keen to align their investment with global goals and borrowing countries with large ocean …
Conceptualising the role of values in environmental governance and management
Human and ecological values influence all aspects of governance and management processes and in doing so, contribute to environmental decisions and outcomes. However, there is an absence of coherent and well-developed guidance to assist understanding of how values influence the different aspects of environmental governance and management. This paper addresses the gap between environmental values theory and governance and management practice. With…
Mapping flows of blue economy finance
Moolawang Ngayagang Yanba
This paper offers an example of how Indigenous knowledges can be integrated into governance within an Australian context. The research is part of an international collaborative project seeking demonstrable examples of the potential for effective integration of Indigenous knowledge into land and marine based planning processes, and environmental decision-making. In the main, the integration of Indigenous knowledge has been tokenistic, or for the p…
Rethinking blue economy governance – A blue economy equity model as an approach to operationalise equity
The blue economy was originally conceptualised as having a strong focus on social equity; however, in practice, these equity considerations have been overshadowed by neo-liberal capitalist agendas, which have become dominant in blue economy discourse. A continued expansion of ocean industry developments and activities has resulted in an inequitable share of the burdens and benefits of utilising ocean spaces and has exacerbated wealth disparities …
A primer on the “blue economy
Blue economy for a sustainable future
Good governance for sustainable blue economy in small islands
The blue economy has emerged as an influential global concept. It is commonly understood to relate to the development of the ocean in a manner which also addresses concerns about ocean health in the face of increasing demands on ocean resources, marine pollution, and climate change. While the blue economy holds potential to act as an integrating policy framework for the sustainable development of the ocean, to date, there are limited examples of …
Blind spots in visions of a “blue economy” could undermine the ocean's contribution to eliminating hunger and malnutrition
Achieving comprehensive integrated ocean management requires normative, applied, and empirical integration
The role of voluntary commitments in realizing the promise of the Blue Economy
Recreational fishing and citizenship
This paper draws on a sensory ethnography conducted with migrant recreational fishermen of Asian ancestry in a context of heightened scientific concerns about over-fishing. We offer the concept of recreational fishing assemblage to consider the affective and emotional dimensions of recreational fishing experiences. Our conceptual framework builds on feminist scholarship that appreciates human-non-human entanglements in the constitutions of subjec…
Integrating fisheries, food and nutrition – Insights from people and policies in Timor-Leste
Towards a sustainable and equitable blue economy
Transformational adaptation on the farm
Shades of blue
The ‘Blue Economy’ is an increasingly popular term in modern marine and ocean governance. The concept seeks to marry ocean-based development opportunities with environmental stewardship and protection. Yet different actors are co-opting this term in competing, and often conflicting ways. Four conceptual interpretations of the Blue Economy are identified, through examination of dominant discourses within international Blue Economy policy documents…
Maritime security and the Blue Economy
Maritime security is essential to supporting the Blue Economy. Many maritime security forums have been key supporters of the Blue Economy concept, particularly in the Indian Ocean region (IOR). This paper will explore the co-evolution and co-dependence of Blue Economy and maritime security agendas, with a particular focus on the IOR. It identifies two primary interactions between Blue Economy and maritime security interests. Firstly, maritime sec…
Climate Refugees or Migrants? Contesting Media Frames on Climate Justice in the Pacific
Climate justice is rarely encountered in Australian media coverage of issues around climate change. The rare coverage of climate justice issues often focuses on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) such as Kiribati and commonly makes use of four main media frames: SIDS as "proof" of climate change, SIDS as "victims" of climate change, SIDS communities as climate "refugees," and SIDS as travel destinations. Yet these frames undermine the desire o…
