a professor of oceanography at Oregon State University; member of the Ocean Studies
Board of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; and vice chair

The new blue economy is a knowledge-based economy, looking to the sea not just for extraction of material goods, but for data and information to address societal challenges and inspire solutions. Expectations for this economic sector are starting to be realized, and will depend critically on the development of a vast array of new information-based products, as well as new policies and innovative ideas for workforce development.
