BLUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A NEW AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABILITY OF SEAS AND OCEANS

Öz

The concept of sustainability, which has become increasingly important in recent years, has been examined in different dimensions and disciplines. The works of international organizations such as the UN in the field of sustainability and the goals of sustainable development have enabled the emergence and spread of studies on the environment and sustainability. The two elements particularly emphasized in the scope of the study are "clean water and/or sanitation" and "life in water," The concept of blue entrepreneurship has been brought to the fore within the framework of blue growth. While studies within the framework of the concept of green growth and green entrepreneurship were carried out widely, the seas and oceans remained in the background in connection with the climate crisis. The fact that aquatic life is under threat due to the pollution of the seas and oceans and the increase in water temperature is a turning point in terms of sustainability. With this consciousness, while the oceans and seas came to the forefront, the concept of blue growth gained importance. For this reason, to ensure sustainable development and blue growth within the scope of the climate crisis, the concept of "blue entrepreneurship" should be brought to the fore and studied from a broad perspective. This study aims to define the concept of blue entrepreneurship and determine its general framework. Accordingly, suggestions were presented to future researchers for the conceptual and multidisciplinary examination of blue entrepreneurship.
