Our planet is rightly called the “Blue Planet” as 71 per cent of it is covered with water. Thus, the economy related to the marine environment is called the “Blue Economy”. It is immensely important for almost all segments of human life, but has not received the attention and importance that it deserves. However, realization of its importance is increasing with time. This book is an attempt to describe various elements of Blue Economy and is divided into 14 chapters for ease of understanding. It starts by explaining Blue Economy and geography of oceans and seas, highlights importance of oceans for mankind, then discusses seaborne trade and related globalization, waterways, inland waterways, ships, their types, shipbuilding, ports, fishing, seabed resources, marine and coastal tourism, law of the seas including IMO, importance of CPEC, and marine spatial planning.
