Abstract

The blue economy is a marine economy infused with the concept of sustainable development. It aims to promote economic growth, improve people's lives and protect the marine ecological environment through the sustainable development and utilization of marine resources. The blue economy has become the mainstream paradigm leading the development of the global marine economy. Caribbean countries also suit to the blue economy. However, Caribbean countries are facing multiple challenges that may constrain development potentials, such as the current degradation of resources and ecosystem, limited internal and external financial support, and weak research capacity. To resolve these challenges, Caribbean countries should establish an integrated ocean governance framework, attract investment for the blue economy and encourage more education and research opportunities. In the current era, the blue economy will surely become the way for Caribbean countries to achieve greater development and will occupy an increasingly important position in the regional governance system.
