circular economy and the systems innovation approaches. Further research will aim
at unlocking the potential of resources from seas, oceans and inland waters for
different uses and across the range of marine and maritime industries while
protecting the environment and adapting to climate change. Blue Growth will
support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors, through sustainable
exploitation of marine resources for healthy, productive, safe, secure and resilient
seas and oceans. The highly needed sustainability is a well-defined concept, combining economic, environmental and societal values, while it shapes our vision
conforming with ethical behaviour that has driven change throughout human history.
