Priorities for sustaining ocean economy
October 25, 2019
ASU Center for Biodiversity Outcomes professor of practice and senior director of the blue production program for Conservation International’s Center for Oceans, Jack Kittinger, and ASU-CI former postdoctoral research associate Elena Finkbeiner, co-authored a new Nature publication titled “Towards a sustainable and equitable blue economy.”
Blue economy is the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth. This concept has recently gained much attention due to the growing concern about the future state of the ocean as human exploitation and ocean-based industries continue to increase.
