Blue Economy Symposium

The long-term strategy of the Blue Economy is aimed at unlocking the potential of ocean resources through the sustainable development of offshore seafood and renewable energy production systems.

This Blue Economy symposium was initiated at the OMAE 42nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore & Arctic Engineering which was held in Melbourne in 2023.

Owing to its success, the symposium has become a permanent feature symposium in OMAE and it covers emerging technologies in the context of the blue economy with a focus on aquaculture and renewable energy applications.

In this webinar, 3 presentations were selected to cover some of the aforementioned topics in the context of blue economy.
