The book aims at assessing the overall
potential of the Ocean Economy (OE) to contribute to
Mauritius’ development, at identifying key sectoral and
cross-cutting challenges to be overcome in order to seize
that potential; and at evaluating ways to ensure the
OE’s longer-term sustainability, addressing in
particular environmental and climate change concerns. While
the book discusses specific projects in selected sectors,
this is intended only to illustrate opportunities and
challenges (including in terms of resource mobilization); an
appraisal of the technicaland financial feasibility of
individual projects would go beyond the scope of this work
and would have to be conducted as part of separate follow-on
activities. This book reflects data and information
available as of March 31, 2017.
