By using an innovative approach based on computer-generated graphs, this project delivered (i) a map of the existing policy and legislative arrangements as they relate to blue economy uses, activities and resources; (ii) cross-sector analyses to identify gaps and overlaps that may hinder blue economy activities; and, (iii) a searchable online database of such policy and legislative arrangements that will assist industry, researchers and government in their decision-making and planning. This project is part of the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre.
