Dear Mika,
I hope that you are doing well. There is a newly published report on blue growth that we think might be valuable for you and your networks. We would appreciate if you can spread information about this report to relevant actors and/or publish the information somewhere you find it suitable.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day!/Ingela

The Swedish Agency for Marine Water Management is pleased to share our new report Enabling local blue growth in developing countries.<https://www.havochvatten.se/en/our-organization/publications/swam-publications/2021-11-09-enabling-local-blue-growth-in-developing-countries.html> The report is a thematic review of scientific literature exploring what factors must be in place to support local blue growth in coastal communities in developing countries. Sectors in focus are fisheries, aquaculture, tourism and conservation in marine and aquatic environments.

The review systematically maps and analyses 90 scientific articles. The articles include studies from 28 developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. It presents eight concrete recommendations to consider by national authorities and development agents working for local blue growth. We hope this study can inspire and contribute to further discussion on the blue economy's potential of creating socioeconomic development in developing countries.

This report is a result from SwAM Ocean, our development cooperation programme. SwAM Ocean aims to contribute to poverty reduction through sustainable use of the sea. Visit SwAM Ocean<https://www.havochvatten.se/swam-ocean>.
Would you like to strengthen the collaboration with us?
This report is part of SwAM's ambition to explore what key infrastructure and institutional factors that need to be in place to enable local economic blue growth in developing countries. We have conducted four studies<https://www.havochvatten.se/en/eu-and-international/international-cooperation/swam-ocean/use-blue-growth-and-fisheries.html> to explore this issue, and will synthesise and disseminate the results during 2022.

We are looking for fellow actors interested in the potential blue economy and socioeconomic development. In the case you are considering activities related to the blue economy in 2022 or 2023 we are happy to join in from the perspective of local blue growth.

Please contact us to explore opportunities for potential collaboration further.  Maria Göthberg maria.gothberg at havochvatten.se<mailto:maria.gothberg at havochvatten.se>

Kind regards,
The team at SwAM
