The oceans have always been seen as an infinite source of production and an easy way to massively
develop the economies of countries. Anthropic activities have continued to develop,
structure and industrialize. Today, the oceans have never been so exploited: fisheries, fossile
extraction, marine traffic, costal installations…
These economic activities currently generate billions of dollars at local, national and international
levels. They have a direct, critical impact on human societies and also on the marine environment.
What will the ocean be like for the next decade? What do we really want from our oceans? Is it
possible to seriously speak about sustainability? If yes, what should the blue economy look like?
This webinar will bring together professionals, economists, researchers and students from financial
companies, universities, research institutes, governmental and non-governmental organizations,
working on the blue economy. The goal is to provide a forum to share current and future solutions on
economy to make the ocean sustainable.
This webinar will be a contribution to the One Ocean Summit initiated by President Macron. This
international event will will focus in particular on the regulation of the pelagic sea. It will be held in
Brest, France, from Feb 9 to 11.
