Blue Economy and Coastal Development

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Blue economy taps ocean resources sustainably—fisheries, offshore wind, marine biotechnology, and tourism. India’s long coastline creates opportunities for port-led growth (Sagarmala), maritime clusters, and deep-sea mining. Coastal communities benefit from improved livelihoods, but ecological risks loom (overfishing, pollution). For exam readiness, stress how scientific management, better port infrastructure, and global cooperation (e.g., Indian Ocean Rim initiatives) shape India’s maritime aspirations.
