Rethinking the Blue Economy : integrating social science for sustainability and justiceJerneja Penca, Irmak Ertör, Marta Ballesteros, Michael Briguglio, Maciej Kowalewski, Birgit Pauksztat, Dražen Cepić, Cristina Piñeiro-Corbeira, Natașa Vaidianu, Jose Pascual-Fernández, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: To fulfill the Blue Economy’s promise of sustainable and just ocean use, its scientific foundation must more fully integrate the social sciences. Drawing on insights from real-world scientific networking initiatives, we identify three key contributions of the social sciences and propose a strategy to redefine the Blue Economy. This strategy anchors knowledge in societal challenges and emphasizes cocreation, the science-policy interface, knowledge integration, and the values of accountability and care.
