The Mid-Atlantic Blue Ocean Economy 2030<\/strong> forum assembled leading scientists, policymakers, conservationists, business and community leaders, and communicators to identify opportunities to promote, protect and prosper from the region’s largest and most important natural asset — the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum focused on future trends influencing important ocean industries — transportation, energy, fisheries, natural resources and ecosystem services, and travel & tourism, and the impacts of changes in the ocean environment such as ecosystem shift, ocean noise, sea level rise and ocean acidification. Attendees identified trends, shared and common goals, impediments to supporting the blue economy, as well as actions to better align economic growth opportunities and the health of the ocean. Day two examined how the frame of the blue economy and the shared goals that were identified could be used to capture the attention of the public and communicate the importance of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum was hosted by the Monmouth University Urban Coast Institute with its partner, the Rockefeller University Program for the Human Environment<\/a>. See below for resources and materials from the forum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
