Abstract

The blue economy is considered parallel to the traditional economy and acts as one of the major drivers of growth and development (in the form of blue growth). The world is blessed with a coastline of 1.16 million kilometers, and many are declared maritime nations due to their larger coastal areas. As a driver to boost economic growth, this sector has immense potential; thus, it fastens the blue economy, but outcomes of this sector purely hinge on the relevant human resource (human capital), which acts as a catalyst to the blue growth, hence, generating desired outcomes human capital requires blue education which contributes in the national growth of any economy; the crux of blue growth lies in the blue education. As a maritime nation, Pakistan needs to prioritize this sector by promoting blue education to bring economic prosperity.
