The U.S. government is set to release its first official estimate of the value of the nation\u2019s marine economy, also known as the \u201cblue economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
NOAA and the Commerce Department\u2019s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are set to unveil the findings next Tuesday. For the statistics, experts considered ten sectors representing businesses dependent on the nation\u2019s oceans, coasts and Great Lakes between the years 2014 and 2019.<\/p>\n
BEA is partnering with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop statistics to measure the role of the oceans, seaports, and Great Lakes in the U.S. economy. The \u201cMarine Economy Satellite Account\u201d will estimate the contribution to gross domestic product of activities such as commercial fishing, shipbuilding, transportation, and recreation. The statistics are planned to help businesses make investment and hiring decisions and aid U.S., state, and local policymakers.<\/p>\n
NOAA in January released its Blue Economy Strategic Plan for 2021-2025, laying out a roadmap for \u201cnew ways to advance the United States\u2019 Blue Economy and enhance a global ocean economy,\u201d which is expected to double in value to $3 trillion over the next decade. The Strategic Plan focuses on five sectors that NOAA will advance through agency-wide initiatives including marine transportation, ocean exploration, seafood competitiveness, tourism and recreation, and coastal resilience.<\/p>\n
