The Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) has adopted a new report on the maritime economy. The report argues for the adoption of a national strategy, through numerous recommendations for the development of a blue and sustainable economy, adapted to the regions and enhancing traditional sectors.
The Council’s experts thus stressed the importance of sectors such as fishing, tourism and all port activities. The report insists on the need to ensure that seafood products are better valorised. Among the proposals put forward, the Council’s experts notably proposed the development of eco-responsible aquaculture, the gradual reorientation of the seaside tourism offer in order to reduce environmental risks, and the development of ecotourism, while involving the local community.
