The SUBMARINER Compendium (published in 2012) was the very first comprehensive assessment of the potential of innovative and sustainable uses of Baltic marine resources. The subsequent SUBMARINER Roadmap (first published in 2013) presented eleven strategic action fields to reach the objectives of the 2030 vision for a blue-green economy in the Baltic Sea Region. This Roadmap has been very successful and influential. It has provided the strategic framework for all projects implemeted within and around the SUBMARINER Network over the past seven years. In light of the results of these projects as well as changing external conditions, it was now high time to update this roadmap, in order to guide the work of the SUBMARINER Network within the coming years.
With the support of the Interreg BSR Blue Platform project, a new version has been developed looking forward to 2030. It takes stock of what has been achieved over the past years; incorporates the findings from a wide range of funded projects and considers new external developments. On that basis it showcases the new topics and actions necessary to be prioritized in the coming years by all relevant actors. The Roadmap and its Executive Summary can be downloaded here.
The results from the presentations and discussions of the Better Off Blue Online Event Series on the Roadmap for the Baltic Blue Bioeconomy 2030 will directly inform the JOINT DECLARATION of all SUBMARINER actors. This will outline actors, achievements and remaining gaps of the Baltic Blue Bioeconomy up to 2021, mid-and long-term goals for sustainable Blue Growth and the steps necessary to achieve them. The JOINT Declaration will be promoted among all key actors in the Baltic Sea Region and will be available for download here.
Spearheaded by the SUBMARINER Network for Blue Growth, the Better Off Blue Event Series is organised with support from all project partners of the Interreg BSR projects Blue Platform, Alliance+ and GRASS, as well as from the members of the SUBMARINER Network and many other external actors, presented here:
