PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A BE CRC PARTICIPANTS ONLY EVENT
This webinar will present the findings from Project 5.20.007: Mapping and Analysis of Blue Economy Policy and Legislative Arrangement.
The objectives of this project included:
(i) Map the existing policy and legislative environment (i.e., policies and legislation and responsible agencies) as they relate to blue economy uses, activities and resources across multiple sectors and jurisdictions;
(ii) Undertake cross-sector analyses to identify gaps and overlaps that may hinder the development and operation of blue economy activities with a focus on those relating to integrated seafood and energy production systems; and
(iii) Develop a searchable online database of the Blue Economy policy and regulatory environment.
The presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion on the implications of the project’s findings for future research on policy and regulation as part of the Blue Economy CRC.
