Abstract: The Go Blue Project Result Area 2 is jointly implemented by United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The Project aims at enhancing land-sea planning and management by addressing key socio-economic and environmental challenges while stimulating benefits from the blue economy. By promoting the economic growth of coastal urban residents and the preservation of coastal and marine resources, the project seeks to assist in the nationâ??s transition to a sustainable blue economy. Undoubtedly, a vital element in the sustainability of blue economic development is the maintenance of healthy marine and coastal ecosystems. However, these important ecosystems are decreasing at an alarming rate because of growing, and increasingly frequent stresses.
