Pathway into the Ocean Economy
The ocean economy is the new economic frontier and one of the fastest growing industries in the world. The ocean promises wealth, and exciting potential for boosting employment, economic growth and innovation.
“Conservatively, ocean-based industries’ gross value added could double in size by 2030, reaching around USD 3 trillion and are anticipated to employ over 40 million people”
(OECD 2016).
The ocean economy is tied to a group of interconnected industries which is rapidly expanding and changing. To succeed in this environment, youth of today will require transferable STEAM skills which can be meaningfully used to address many of the big social, economic, and environmental challenges.
