Rapid advances are continuously made in the emerging Blue Economy industry, especially in terms of location, scale and technology. In many cases, these advances are being made by industry ahead of the policy and regulation that is a necessary foundation for the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the approaches. This project contributes towards further supporting the development of effective policies and regulations that are fit for purpose and provide confidence for the aquaculture and renewable energy sectors to operate.
The project drew upon on a systematic literature review, survey and focus group with Blue Economy CRC stakeholders (industry, research providers and government), to develop a coordinated and staged research plan based on these sectors’ short-, medium- and long-term needs and priorities.
