Abstract

The Blue Economy encompasses various sectors, including fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, renewable energy, and biotechnology, which harness marine resources while ensuring environmental sustainability. By evaluating the impact of marine conservation efforts on entrepreneurship within the Blue Economy, specific entrepreneurship opportunities in marine conservation practices and sustainable resource utilization are identified. The study assesses enabling factors and barriers for entrepreneurship in the Blue Economy, such as policy frameworks and access to finance. Recommendations are provided to promote and support entrepreneurship within the Blue Economy, aligned with the achievement of SDG 14. Findings contribute to the understanding of how entrepreneurship can drive innovation, sustainable practices, and economic growth within the Blue Economy, while preserving marine ecosystems and benefiting local communities.
