A virtual platform for data access, analysis and publication, helps shape Blue Growth

Blue Growth is the term applied to the long term strategy for sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors. The EU-funded BlueBRIDGE project has helped build the necessary knowledge infrastructure for workflows and informed decision making across domains.

The potential that seas and oceans hold out for increased European economic growth and innovation, is recognised by the EU’s 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The Blue Growth strategy includes developing sectors likely to result in sustainable jobs and growth (e.g. aquaculture), ensuring international cooperation and enabling the cultivation and sharing of knowledge and expertise.
