BLUE GROWTH is the long term strategy to support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors as a whole. The 'blue' economy represents roughly 5.4 million jobs and generates a gross added value of almost €500 billion a year in the European area alone. The ideal was adopted in part with reference to economics reflections by Gunter Pauli and the Blue Economy.
Blue growth is not operating nuclear powered anything, with the potential to contaminate our oceans and seas with radioactive waste. Power stations, submarines and aircraft carriers should not be powered by enriched uranium, because of the dangers of leaks. There are many examples where nuclear submarines have either sunk, or been deliberately dumped. Mostly, by the Russia, the Soviet Union. While it might seem like a good idea at the time, Chernobyl, Dounreay and Fukushima are testament to the rule of statistics, that: "if something can happen, it will happen." It's also called Murphy's Law. Any politician saying otherwise, is lying to you. Deliberately painting a false picture, typically for economic reasons, and frequently because of backhanders, bribes and procurement frauds. Such as suggesting that nuclear power is 'sustainable' is a blatant lie and deception. Every reasonably well read individual will tell you, it is not possible to safely dispose of spent radioactive material. Ever!
JEREMY HUNT - Mr uninformed, or simply nuclear dumb? This reminds us of PG&E, and Erin Brokovich, where the energy company was telling locals that carcinogenic chromium was good for them. But secretly knew they were killing them, and watched while cancer consumed many residents. We hear that Johnson and Hunt are being considered as the new leads in a remake of Dumb & Dumber. The bottom line is that politicians are not elected to feather their nests, but to represent the wishes and needs of the people. They are tasked with, and required by law to provide an effective administration. We are waiting for one that does - and it's not going to be the Tories anytime before the year 2050. So, don't hold your breath, and should you live that long.
NUCLEAR LEAKS IN JUST THE UK
BLUE ECONOMY VALUE IN USA
In 2014, the ocean economy in the U.S., which included six economic sectors that depend on the ocean and Great Lakes, contributed more than $352 billion to their GDP and supported 3.1 million jobs.
Further growth is possible internationally in a number of identified area with the appropriate incentives.
Thanks to the efforts of the EU European Commission, UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Global Ocean Commission and others, the term "blue growth" is now accepted internationally with the objectives and criteria being acted on by almost all stakeholder nations who may benefit from embracing points 5-10 below.
The land based market economy, as it presently stands, is not capable of delivering to poor people as persistent rates of poverty and malnutrition demonstrate. The saying that “the rich get richer and poor people get poorer” is confirmed by the existence of poverty and unemployment. Poverty is spreading in absolute numbers mainly to our youth and more mature citizens. Governments accept this hardship and hide behind the need to pursue austerity while pursuing the impossible task to balance the budget. Proof of this is that the retirement age has been raised, an attempt to bridge the skills gap and milk those at both ends of the age spectrum - who are required to work even where there is no work.
ENEMY OF BLUE GROWTH
At the moment the common enemies of blue growth are: 1. Marine Plastic Pollution, 2. Climate Change, 2. Over or Pirate Fishing. These issues affect tourism and marine transport from fuel-burning pollution.
BLUE GROWTH STRATEGY
Blue growth strategy is the latest thinking to grow our ocean economy for a sustainable future world where there is food and energy security for every country and jobs for those who want to work on or in the sea. Hence, "blue" refers to water and "growth" refers to economics.
Generally, "Blue Growth" is not location specific and there is no international strategy where each player must do certain things as part of their piece in a jigsaw. There is no world plan, agreement or fund to work to this end. Instead, each region has its own local agenda and areas of effort and concentrates on making their patch better with pockets of funding available for specific projects - as relate to targeted geographical areas.
The good news is that the concept is spreading with the work of many organizations like the United Nations FAO and EU DG-MARE, getting the message across to many member administrations. The UN's FAO in particular and the World Bank support location specific projects. Though care should be taken not to over-lend, considering the staggering levels of international debt - much of which might never be repaid.
Ultimately, blue growth is about gains the world over. An example of this is where improvements in ocean chemistry will benefit all nations due to the currents that continuously stir up and distribute polluted acid water around the globe - so that non-polluting regions who are keeping their patch clean are now dirty for no fault of their own - and there is no compensation mechanism for the clean nations to make a claim on the dirty administrations - where pollution from the untidy culprits reaches the shores of another.
Rather than escalate the problem, the onus is on sharing knowledge and leading by example, such that other nations not yet at the stage where Blue Growth is high on their agendas, to help them to see the gains that raising the bar will bring for them in the long term.
MAIN BLOCKERS
We are facing four major problems that seriously hinder blue growth:
1. Ocean Pollution - poisons wild fish, also the source of feed for aquaculture 2. Over Fishing - depletes wild fish stocks, threatening food security & productive fisheries 3. Climate Change - ocean acidification & fish migration 4. Over Population - demands more fish than the oceans can at present provide
MAIN GROWTH AREAS
5. Ocean Regeneration - cleaning our oceans to preserve the resource and cleanse the toxic food chain 6. Aquaculture - now generates around 50% of world produce, mostly subject to wild fish feed 7. Ocean Energy - offshore wind and wave energy for clean power 8. Biotechnology - Identifying, harvesting and producing medicines 9. Coastal Tourism - To engage the public in ocean matters and reduce air travel 10. Green Ships - Cargo and cruise ships that are cleaner, preferably zero carbon 11. Green Ports - Ports and docks that are more efficient at handling passengers and cargo
Which one of these is the most important for you depends on your point of view, but all potential solutions that stand a chance of returning us to a sustainable society, depend on every one of us recognizing the problems and doing something about it, if that is within your grasp - and that is an Ocean Literacy issue - the problem being that most people on earth are not aware that this is a serious problem. Hence, the lack of awareness is a big stumbling block, triggering the Miss and Mister Ocean and World Aquariums: Our Ocean campaigns.
1. OCEAN POLLUTION
By loading up the oceans with plastics, oil and other pollutants we are harming the marine life that we rely on for food, where food security is vital to stability and there are more mouths to feed every day from diminishing agricultural and aqua-cultural resources.
Is it possible to clean the (global) ocean up?
At the moment deep sea trash deposits look as if they a there to stay, but there is hope that vehicles like SeaVax™ can make an impact on surface litter and gyre soups and so significantly slow deep sea deposits. At the moment this is just a dream for the team at the Cleaner Ocean Foundation, but with suitable funding to construct a prototype SeaVax™ the Foundation would be prepared to put theory into practice - and have already begun planning to build in the hope that support for this valuable research is forthcoming as part of the UN's Agenda 2030 sustainability drive.
There are 5 swirling ocean garbage patches called gyres. The largest gyre is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California, held to be about the size of France at the moment.
2. OVER FISHING
In an effort to feed the growing population we are plundering the ocean depths with giant trawler nets causing serious damage to ocean ecology and wild fish stocks. We must regulate industrial scale fishing by imposing serious financial penalties and boat confiscations if that is the only way to prevent unauthorized catches. Diesel subsidies for large trawlers should be banned and fines imposed for damage to the seabed.
Fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly and economist Ussif Rashid Sumaila have examined subsidies paid to bottom trawl fleets around the world. They found that US$152 million per year are paid to deep-sea fisheries. Without these subsidies, global deep-sea fisheries would operate at a loss of $50 million a year. A great deal of the subsidies paid to deep-sea trawlers is to subsidize the large amount of fuel required to travel beyond the 200-mile limit and drag weighted nets.
"There
is surely a better way for governments to spend money than by
paying subsidies to a fleet that burns 1.1 billion litres
of fuel annually to maintain paltry catches of old growth
fish from highly vulnerable stocks, while destroying their
habitat in the process" – Pauly.
The logical conclusion is that diesel fuel subsidies are counter to blue growth and fishery regeneration.
Is it possible to prevent over fishing?
It is almost impossible to prevent illegal catches even with the rules for offshore fisherman and the quota system, and shore catch limits for anglers. Trawlers present a huge problem and by-catch, but with persistent monitoring, a reduction in harmful subsidies and improved technology, progress can be made.

Climate change is affecting the chemistry of our oceans, melting the ice caps and potentially placing the whole planet in a crisis 'burn out' situation with a sulfur build up that is reducing reflection of solar radiation creating a feedback loop that warms the earth more. We simply must change our energy usage patterns to do all we can to reduce harmful emissions.
What we need is greener vehicles for both land and sea transport. We also need green energy for our factories and homes, where air conditioning to cool houses and shops consumes large amounts of energy that should be offset with micro and macro generation schemes.
4. OVER POPULATION
There is not much anyone can do to prevent population increases where humans are biologically programmed to procreate, other than offer educational support and contraception advice or even free contraceptives, where 'Human Rights' freedoms take precedence. That is why points 1-3 are so very important. In effect, we need to recondition the planet to allow for human expansion in circular economy fashion in the hope of achieving population equilibrium that does not displace other life on earth or lead to World War Three annihilation; hence the militaristic term: Food Security.
