Blue Economy refers to the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, livelihoods, and ecosystem health. At RESOLVE, we specialise in crafting tailored business strategies to harness the potential of the Blue Economy while preserving marine ecosystems and strengthening coastal communities.
In Madagascar and beyond, we’re committed to developing sustainable solutions for the challenges facing our oceans and coastal regions. Our experience in multiple segments of the Blue Economy (biodiversity conservation, fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, maritime transport and industry) enables us to navigate the complexities of marine resource management, conservation, and economic development.
Why Blue Economy Matters
The Blue Economy presents a vast array of opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and community development, all while preserving the health and resilience of our oceans.
