Yetit is under mounting pressure from overexploitation,pollution, habitat destruction and climate change.These forces are degrading marine and coastalecosystems, and undermining the long-termwell-being of the communities and economiesthat depend on them. Just maintaining theblue economy on a business as usual basis willperpetuate this decline. reasoning and social justice in a clear and practicalway. Healthy marine ecosystems and thrivingcoastal communities are not competing objectives– they are deeply interconnected. A regenerativeapproach requires rethinking investment,governance, technology and innovation, capacitydevelopment and accountability. It challengesdecision-makers to judge success not only by thewealth generated from the ocean, but by the extentto which that wealth supports restoration, fairnessand intergenerational well-being. This report arrives at an important moment.Across sectors and communities, there is growingdemand for economic approaches that advanceboth human well-being and ecological recovery.The regenerative blue economy offers a compellingframework – shifting the focus from limiting harm toactively restoring ocean systems. This report – written by an internationally diversegroup of leading experts from the private andpublic sectors, civil society and academia –examines how to shift from the status quo towardsa regenerative blue economy. Rather than apurely extractive focus on profits and short-termreturns, this approach offers an ambitious visionin which ocean-based economic activity helpsrestore ecosystems, strengthen resilience andsupport equitable prosperity within planetarylimits. The shift it describes asks us not merely tomaintain what remains, but to rebuild what hasbeen damaged; not simply to reduce harm, but tocreate systems that actively renew the ecologicalfoundations on which lasting prosperity depends. For this reason, this publication will be valuableto business leaders, policy-makers, practitioners,scholars, investors, community leaders andcitizens alike. As co-chairs of the Global Future Council for aRegenerative Blue Economy, we recommend thisreport to all who care about the shared future of theocean and human prosperity. What makes this approach especially valuable isits ability to connect ecological integrity, economic Executive summary Sustaining the ocean economy is no longerenough. Moving towards regeneration canreverse ecosystem decline while supportingresilient and equitable long-term prosperity. This report makes the case for the ocean economyto move beyond sustainability towards regenerationand proposes an operational framework to enablethis transformation. The ocean economy generatestrillions in annual value and supports billions oflivelihoods, yet the systems that sustain it are underincreasing strain. Marine ecosystems continueto degrade under pressure from warming seas,pollution and overuse. This report sets out four interdependentsystem levers and shows how their interactionscan help deliver on the ambition of a regenerativeblue economy: 1.Governance:Integrated ocean governancecan help align policies acro
