We are excited to be launching the
UK-wide Blue New Deal initiative today. The Blue New Deal will work to deliver
good jobs and economic sustainability for coastal communities through a
healthier marine environment.
Finding solutions to the various
challenges faced by coastal communities across the country will require
participation and cooperation from a range of different voices and interests.
The Blue New Deal will bring coastal
partners together – from local councils and national government departments, to
entrepreneurs and industry representatives – to develop a nationwide action
plan, to be launched in 2016.
Blog
I have written a blog about the launch of the Blue
New Deal initiative
Vision Report
Read our Blue New Deal vision
report setting the
context for this initiative. The report outlines how the absence of social and
environmental goals in key coastal and marine industries over the years has
placed undue pressure on coastal economies, communities and the environment.
It also begins to explore the many
opportunities to deliver more and better jobs and economic prosperity to coastal
communities through transforming our approach to managing the UK’s wealth of
coastal and marine assets.
Website
The Blue New Deal website will showcase some of the existing
examples of innovative and sustainable approaches happening around the UK coast.
We encourage everyone to share their story with us.
Help us share it widely:
suggested social media posts
Can we balance the economic &
social needs of communities with those of our marine environment? Yes!
