The Blue Economy is a concept that has gained significant traction in recent years. The European Union and various organizations at different levels (national, regional, municipal, etc.) are strongly supporting a sustainable economy based on the diverse uses of seas and oceans. The Blue Economy concept includes fishing, aquaculture, marine renewable energy, nautical and coastal tourism, maritime transport, shipbuilding, marine biotechnology, and more. Developing these sectors is both a challenge and an opportunity, not without difficulties and threats. This work package aims, on one hand, to help measure the importance of the Blue Economy within the Valencian Community and, on the other hand, to raise awareness among children and young people about the need to care for seas and oceans, leveraging valuable marine cultural heritage.
Encourage the participation of different social actors in environmental and socio-economic debates and analyses affecting the blue economy.
To disseminate, raise awareness and educate the population in general and young people in particular about the importance of the marine environment, its resources and trades.
Disseminate knowledge through the creation of tools for educators, with quality content, in the field of marine cultural heritage.
Collaborate and/or participate in the dissemination of knowledge on the blue economy with other Expressions of Interest of the project.
