Introduction to the Blue Economy

Develop a deeper understanding of the blue economy, and what it means to our world.
The blue economy describes a way of thinking about sustainably generating wealth from the ocean. Whether you are a policy maker, fisher, scientist, or technologist, this introductory course is designed to teach a shared understanding of what comprises the blue economy, and how we might manage it, measure its output, and finance it. This three- to five-hour self-paced course will expand your knowledge of the blue economy and lay a foundation for deeper learning in more specialized topics.
This noncredit course is taught by Dr. Charles Colgan, the director of research for the Center for the Blue Economy (CBE) and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ocean and Coastal Economics (JOCE).
