Blue Economy as an economic driver and protector of bio-diversity and cultural heritage

Blue Economy as an economic driver and protector of bio-diversity and cultural heritage

Large parts of Europe are defined by their relationship with the sea, Europe’s great rivers and other water elements. Europe’s Blue Economy strategy is set to not only generate sustainable economic output but also act as a windshield for the continent’s unparalleled maritime and riparian cultural and natural heritage. How is Europe faring in managing this challenge?
