The World Bank defines the Blue Economy as “the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems.” The established legal framework for the Blue Economy is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), 1982. The course examines the regulatory regime for the oceans set forth in UNCLOS and the interlinkages between UNCLOS and the Blue Economy.
