Opportunities Facing The Egyptian Blue Economy
Abstract
In recent years, the blue economy has been considered a hot spot topic worldwide because of the shortage of land resources and finding offshore energy resources. Egypt’s rising population will necessitate more food and energy. This demand can be met by making sustainable use of marine resources. This paper discusses The Egyptian Blue Economic Model is a long-term development strategy that looks to the seas for new economic prospects, poverty reduction, food security, and long-term livelihoods. And discuss challenges facing the development of the Egyptian blue economy and how to beat these challenges. The government begins a package of steps to promote blue energy, which addresses some of the challenges highlighted in this article, such as aquaculture development, tourism, and natural gas, resulting in the increased military and naval troops for Maritime Surveillance.
