This course is part of a Postgraduation Program consisting of seven modules. If you are interested in participating in any of the other modules, please contact us or refer to the Postgraduation Blue Economy Sustainable and Regenerative.

Course Content:

• Identify and characterize the economic activities that are part of the sustainable and regenerative blue economy;

• Highlight the challenges faced by the blue economy, linked to the triple planetary crisis: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution;

• Introduce the Law of the Sea and the regulatory framework that defines and governs activities in different aquatic spaces;

• Describe maritime spatial planning models and emphasize the importance of marine protected areas.

The Blue Economy and Sustainable and Regenerative Development course aims to equip and prepare professionals, guided by the principles of sustainability and ecosystem regeneration—to harness the economic, social, environmental, and cultural potential of the ocean and aquatic resources.

The blue economy encompasses all aquatic spaces, including the ocean, seas, coasts, lakes, rivers, and groundwater. It includes various economic activities connected to aquatic environments, such as fishing, aquaculture, blue tourism, ports and maritime transport, shipbuilding and repair, ocean renewable energy, blue biotechnology, surveillance and protection, among others.

Participants will acquire knowledge and tools that enable them to gain a 360º perspective and make confident decisions, whether to manage a team or region, innovate and assess investments, implement and manage projects, and/or build a career in the sustainable and regenerative blue economy.
