Blue economy for ocean health and sustainable development

“Blue Economy for Ocean Health and Sustainable Development” is a report by ImpactoCAF that describes the importance of Latin America and the Caribbean's maritime and coastal territory for key activities in the regional economy, while also describing the efforts of CAF - Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean to protect it and ensure the long-term conservation of its resources. Specifically, it details the action promoted by CAF in various areas of intervention, such as the creation and management of marine protected areas, the prevention and eradication of invasive species, support for surveillance systems for the monitoring, detection, and control of IUU fishing, coral rehabilitation, and integrated sargassum management, among others. These actions have a potential impact on biodiversity conservation, resilience to climate change, and the economic well-being of coastal communities.
