The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has approved the first Maritime Blue Economy Plan (MBEP), and a blue economy department gap analysis for the formal establishment of the Department of the Blue Economy.
The department is charged with the implementation of this plan. A release from the Ministry says the MBEP is a partnership initiative between the governments of the United Kingdom (UK) and Antigua and Barbuda.
This inaugural plan provides an overview of the existing maritime economy of the twin island state and sets out priorities and actions that aim to help the country demonstrate a clear vision and direction that takes account of national issues, international commitments and the challenges of a Small Island State.
