Africa-Press – Cape verde. The National Directorate for Sea Policies (DNPM) today started the process of drawing up the first phase of the National Strategy for the Sea 2023-2033 and the respective action plan. This first phase begins with a diagnosis of the current situation in the maritime sector.
According to the DNPM, quoted by Inforpress, the diagnosis that will be made will result from the collection of information from the different entities in the sector.
This information will serve as a basis for formulating strategic options for the sea.
DNPM requests collaboration from other entities
The DNPM requests the “profitable collaboration” of the different entities so that a plan can be drawn up together that enhances the contribution of the sea to the country’s economy and “the prosperity and well-being” of all Cape Verdeans .
The idea is also to have a plan that responds to the “major challenges” of the decade, “reinforcing Cape Verde’s position and visibility” in the Atlantic and in the world, as a “historically and geographically maritime nation”.
Gradual transition to the Blue Economy
The DNPM also recalls that the Government Program of the 10th legislature reaffirms the importance of the sea and the maritime economy sector as “one of the fundamental pillars” to build a circulation economy and a gradual transition to the Blue Economy.
This option, continues the same source, is in line with the aims of the proclamation of the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development from 2021 to 2030 and with the commitments of the 2030 Agenda, with particular emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 14 , focused on the protection of marine life, namely on the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean, seas and marine resources.
