<p>Executive Summary<br>
Blue Growth is the expanding but sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods<br>
and ocean ecosystem health. Blue Growth is expected to increase across all sectors in the North Atlantic over the<br>
next decade, involving new activities and additional locations for existing activities. Coordinating these activities<br>
and ensuring sustainability can present significant challenges. The potential for collaboration across Blue Economy<br>
sectors to enhance synergies and avoid conflicts is central to effective marine spatial planning.<br>
Well-managed Blue Growth could make important contributions towards achieving United Nations Sustainable<br>
Development Goals (SDGs) including SDG2: Zero Hunger; SDG7: Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG8: Decent Work<br>
and Economic Growth, and SDG14: a healthy marine environment.<br>
Improved science and technology are key to ensuring that Blue Growth is sustainable, particularly in the face of<br>
changing climatic and marine conditions. Greater integration between marine sectors is being actively fostered<br>
through several ongoing and newly-established initiatives, including the United Nations’ ‘Decade of Ocean<br>
Science for Sustainable Development’ and a new international treaty for conservation and sustainable use of<br>
marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.<br>
The ATLAS project is developing a knowledge base to inform the development of international policies to ensure<br>
deep-sea Atlantic resources are managed effectively. This in turn will contribute to the European Commission’s<br>
long-term Blue Growth strategy.</p>
