Case Studies
The MOSES case studies will be used as ‘living labs’ to identify Blue Growth Pathways. Blue growth is defined as growth in ocean economic activities that does not interfere with the marine environment’s long term ability to continue to deliver ecosystem services. Living labs aim to support innovation in (evolving) real life contexts. This involves working with stakeholders to identify future sustainable growth scenarios and then addressing these complex challenges through constraint mapping which involves identifying and classifying barriers to Blue Growth.
