What Is the Blue Economy?

Oregon’s blue economy comprises the many sustainable economic activities, innovations, and emerging markets that depend on the ocean, shoreline, and estuaries directly along the Oregon coast.

The blue economy also includes activities that are geographically and economically linked to ocean, coastal, and estuarine businesses, and industries, such as transport of goods, entrepreneurship, and advanced manufacturing occurring in interconnected riverine systems and ports. Industries within Oregon’s blue economy—such as aquaculture, energy, fishing, food production and processing, research and development, marine transportation, and tourism—emphasize ocean stewardship and diverse economic benefits to coastal communities.
