Event Details
India's vast maritime potential, characterized by a 7517 km coastline, nine coastal states, and 1382 islands, holds immense promise for a sustainable harvesting-based economy. The imperative lies in strategically exploring and sustainably utilizing ocean resources, integrating capabilities to boost employment and value addition while adhering to environmental preservation and UN Sustainable Development Goals. A transparent policy framework is crucial to drive India's Blue Economy, aiming to elevate GDP through sustainable growth and aligning with national security and international commitments. The conference feature sessions spanning Marine Biomanufacturing, Smart Aquaculture, Coastal and deep Sea Mining, Offshore Energy, Marine Pollution, Biodiversity Conservation, Disaster Management, AI for Marine Resources, Climate Change, Seaweed Cultivation, and Artificial Reef Construction. The goal is to derive strategies in line with the Swachh Bharat vision, extending to ensure cleanliness across both land (Swachh Prithvi) and seas (Swachh Sagar).
