Racquel Moses| The blue economy in the Caribbean: Unlocking a trillion-dollar opportunity

Developing blue economy opportunities in the Caribbean can make the region a leader in ocean-based solutions. This was the conclusion of the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator (CCSA) Investor Forum on the blue economy in September – an event that featured nearly $250 million in investment-ready projects in the region, and featured several high-level speakers from the private and public sectors. During the session Dr Angus Friday, the Waitt Institute’s Director of Blue Economy, noted that Caribbean nations are becoming increasingly interested in maximising their ocean resources in a sustainable way.
