National Blue Economy Policy for 2024

The Policy focuses on sustainable use and management of marine and coastal resources to support socio-economic development while ensuring environmental conservation. It emphasises addressing climate change impacts on marine ecosystems through measures like coral reef restoration, establishment of marine protected areas, and promoting sustainable marine spatial planning. It supports activities such as sustainable fisheries, marine tourism, and renewable energy development, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 14 (Life Below Water) and Tanzania's broader climate commitments, including its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
