with the Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries (FAO, 1995) and with the ecosystem
approach to fisheries and to aquaculture, on
which the initiative is based. It seeks to enhance
the impacts of these g uiding instruments through
efficient use of limited resources, reduced carbon
footprints, increased employment and decent
working conditions. If the first two phases are effectively
implemented, then mainstreaming will progress
naturally as policy-makers, communities and the
private sector recognize its economic and social
benefits, such as improved market access,
profitabilit y and decent work opportunities for
youth and women, and ultimately seek to embed
blue growth in sector development.
The Blue Growth Initiative incorporates three
main t ypes of action based on a theor y of change
(Figure 45):
„ „ enabling: putting in place the relevant conditions
(e.g. legislation and sound financial
incentives), capacit y development and social
mobilization;
„ „ transforming: implementing demonstration or
pilot projects to identif y the most appropriate
inter ventions and capture lessons;
„ „ mainstreaming: scaling up and embedding
appropriate policies, practices, incentives and
technologies into public programmes and
private-sector operations. The Blue Growth Framework can help to identif y
the connections among proposed inter ventions
for blue growth, the necessar y conditions for
progress and the potential impacts (positive and
negative) on the natural capital, as well as
opportunities and limitations, for better-
informed decisions on investments, policies and
management measures. Key activities include
promoting best practices based on the ecosystem
approach to fisheries and to aquaculture and
encompassing all stakeholders along the value
chain, as well as promoting reductions in food
loss and waste, energ y efficiencies and
innovation. This new approach is expected to
