It covers the impacts and opportunities linked with shipping and fisheries to tourism, marinebased renewable energies and agriculture. The report concludes that a shift to sustainability in terms of improved human well‐being and social equity can lead to healthier and more economically productive oceans that can simultaneously benefit coastal communities and oceanlinked industries.
