Research shows that Brazilians are unaware of what the sea economy means and how important it is, even though it generates trillions of reais annually for the country.
A research published, exclusively, by the Grupo Boticário Nature Protection Foundation in partnership with UNESCO and the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) to the ESG Practice, from the newspaper Valor Econômico, found that Brazilians do not know what the sea economy means and how important it is.
Even though it generates around R$2 trillion annually for Brazil, only 1% of Brazilians know perfectly the meaning of the term.
The economy of the sea encompasses the use and exploration of the ocean and includes traditional activities such as fishing; oil extraction; cruise and coastal tourism; maritime transport of cargo and passengers; port facilities; among many others.
Another concept of vital importance in this topic is that of blue economy. This, in turn, is a sustainable sea economy. Result of a balance between economic activities and the capacity of oceanic ecosystems to support such practices, remaining healthy. Therefore, the blue economy aims to utilize but also protect the ocean.
