Africa-Press – Cape verde. The Government approved the strategies to guide Cape Verde’s sustainable maritime future, anchored in ten priority areas of intervention, in a process started in April 2023 based on the analysis of the current situation in the maritime sector.
In a note sent to Inforpress, Palácio da Várzea informed that the National Strategy for the Sea (ENM) is a planning, operationalization and implementation instrument that incorporates an “ambitious and sustainable holistic” approach to the sea, essentially aligned with the main policy instruments of development.
The document, he stressed, is based on scientific knowledge with the purpose of protecting the ocean and its resources, promoting and enhancing the sustainable economic use of the sea, as well as all aspects of the blue economy.
According to the Government, ten priority areas were defined as fishing and aquaculture, maritime transport, coastal security and infrastructure, marine environment and coastline, tourism and aquatic ecotourism, maritime training, scientific research and knowledge, maritime services, water desalination seawater, renewable energy, marine biotechnology, circular economy and digital economy.
“From the ten priority areas, 23 strategic objectives were proposed that cross the entire sea value chain to be achieved through the development of 46 priority actions for the decade. The implementation of ENM 2023-2033 is ensured by an action plan that brings together all the strategic instruments developed on the sea”, he assured, recalling the commitment made by the Government to transform the country into an international maritime platform.
The resolution approving the National Strategy for the Sea was approved by the Council of Ministers on March 27th of this year.
