The annual State of the Blue Economy Forum convenes leaders from across ocean industries, including fishing, energy, engineering, research, tourism, conservation and government. WA’s blue economy is estimated to employ 60,000 people, contribute $25 billion to GSP and is trending towards double this size by 2030.

The forum enables the diverse stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of the status, trends in ocean health and ocean-dependent economic activities. The forum facilitates alignment and collaboration on priority actions towards the vision of:

WA demonstrating leadership nationally and internationally in the Indian Ocean through its collaborative approach to stewardship of ocean health and development of sustainable ocean economies.
