Abstract

The World Bank (2017) defines blue economy as “sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystem”. The notion of blue economy gained traction following the 2012 RIO+20 United Nations (UN) Conference on Sustainable Development (Bir et al., 2020). During that same period of time, Bangladesh had settled its maritime boundary with Myanmar (2012) and India (2014), which prompted its government to pay more focused attention to the country’s blue economy sector (Hussain et al., 2018; Bari, 2017). Since then, the Government of Bangladesh has taken on several initiatives to advance Bangladesh’s Blue Economy, including the establishment of the Blue Economy Cell (BEC) in 2017, but it has not been able to adopt a comprehensive ocean governance approach. The blue economy field appears disorganized and noncohesive due to inefficient management measures, lack of resource persons, lack of planning, inadequate technology, insufficient knowledge, climate change, pollution, and many more issues (Bir et al., 2020).
