To fill the gap in shared understanding about what characterizes a sustainable Blue Economy, and to help ensure that the economic development of the ocean contributes to true prosperity, today and long into the future, WWF has developed a set of “Principles for a Sustainable Blue Economy.” The Principles offer: a clear definition of sustainable blue economy, guidance on governance and a set of necessary actions. All Blue Economy actors should use these Principles to communicate, guide decision-making, inform assessment processes, support stakeholders dialogues and mobilize commitment by government and all relevant stakeholders.
