The blue economy, which encompasses the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems, presents a significant opportunity for both Scotland and Tanzania.

Scotland’s Blue Economy Vision

Scotland has a comprehensive vision for its blue economy, aiming to achieve sustainable growth by 2045. The Scottish Government’s strategy emphasises the importance of protecting marine environments while promoting economic prosperity, particularly in coastal and island communities.

Key areas of focus include:

• Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture: Scotland is renowned for its high-quality seafood and sustainable practices are central to maintaining this reputation.

• Marine Renewable Energy: Harnessing the power of offshore wind, wave and tidal energy to contribute to a low-carbon future.
