摘要

蓝色经济对非洲的可持续发展至关重要。几内亚湾是撒哈拉以南非洲经济最具活力的国家之一,在向蓝色经济转型的过程中面临着若干挑战。本研究评估了几内亚湾蓝色经济的情况,并提出了实施蓝色经济的战略。采用定性研究方法来检查每个成员国的海洋保护倡议、区域合作、管理方法和战略框架。研究结果表明,几内亚湾已经在经历蓝色经济活动,但人口快速增长、城市化、海盗、不可持续的人为活动、糟糕的制度框架和气候变化等挑战阻碍了这一转变。几内亚湾的海洋经济占国内生产总值不到10%,因此将蓝色经济纳入贸易战略对其转型至关重要。需要根据国家优先事项、社会背景和资源基础采取系统的方法,以促进社会包容、经济进步和可持续的海洋开发。必须将海岸带综合管理、海洋空间规划、海洋保护区、海洋生物多样性和蓝色正义话语等蓝色增长的推动因素纳入政策设计,优先考虑可持续性和公平性。建议采取谨慎的、分阶段的方法,重点是建立和发展传统部门,整合价值链,并实施区域合作,以便几内亚湾的蓝色经济实现其社会、环境和经济目标。

Operationalizing the blue economy in the Gulf of Guinea, Africa
The Blue Economy is crucial for sustainable development in Africa, and the Gulf of Guinea, one of Sub-Saharan Africa's most economically dynamic countries, faces several challenges in transitioning into this economy. This study assesses the situation of the Blue Economy in the Gulf of Guinea and proposes strategies for its operationalization. A qualitative research approach was used to examine each member state's marine conservation initiatives, regional collaboration, management approaches, and strategic frameworks. Findings show that the Gulf of Guinea is already experiencing blue economy activities, but challenges like rapid population growth, urbanization, piracy, unsustainable anthropogenic activities, poor institutional frameworks, and climate change hinder the transition. The Gulf of Guinea's ocean economy accounts for less than 10% of GDP, so integrating the blue economy into trade strategies is crucial for its transformation. A systematic approach based on national priorities, social context, and resource base is needed to foster social inclusion, economic progress, and sustainable ocean development. Enablers of blue growth, such as integrated coastal zone management, marine spatial planning, marine protected areas, marine biodiversity, and blue justice discourse, must be integrated into policy design, prioritizing sustainability and equity. A cautious, phased approach is suggested, focusing on establishing traditional sectors, growing them, integrating value chains, and implementing regional collaboration so that the blue economy delivers on its social, environmental and economic goals in the Gulf of Guinea.
