Our approach is to empower human potential through active, inclusive, stakeholder and results-driven research that strives to be practical, with meaningful, engaged outcomes. We focus on awareness raising, climate change, identifying blue, green and circular economy opportunities and finance, training and entrepreneurship possibilities through all stages of a project; including monitoring and evaluation. Blue Economy Future extends beyond consulting and project management services to facilitating entrepreneurship and courses, devising curriculums and manuals; policy advice, implementation, supporting fund-raising, facilitation and awareness of news, events, initiatives and opportunities. It has established a significant global network and series of partnerships. Our sustainable, climate change, green and blue economy experience extends to legislation, policies, socioeconomic, events and latest technological/knowledge updates with work experience in a variety of ocean/blue economy areas. These include ocean governance, illegal and unregulated fishing, undersea exploration; marine protected areas; marine renewable energy; ocean governance and sovereignty/maritime law; ocean pollution reduction and the circular economy; climate change; ports and small harbours; cruise and marine tourism; biotechnology entrepreneurship; education; drones; ship repair; blue economy strategies, maritime logistics and blue economy finance. Blue Economy Future follows an approach based on sustainability, inclusivity, optimizing potential and integration. The need to balance the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development in relation to oceans, land and ecosystems is a key component of the transition towards a climate-proofed future, to climate resilient livelihoods, communities, ecosystems and to a circular economy, zero-waste future. It is an approach that aims to ensure long term optimal survival, maximizing the technological innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, harnessing individual and collective human ingenuity, sustainable finance and creativity for greater local and global prosperity. Recent project examples include Durban’s Blue Oceans Economic Strategic Framework, advising on current global and South African ship repair markets and a socioeconomic valuation of the sector, risks and opportunities of the Benguela Current Region for the Benguela Current Convention (Namibia, Angola and South Africa).
