With the world’s longest coastline and seafood exports reaching more than 118 countries, Canada’s ocean economy is a strategic asset in an era defined by economic uncertainty, supply chain disruption and geopolitical realignment. Far from being limited to fisheries, Canada’s Blue Economy spans marine transportation, ocean technology, research, energy and coastal innovation ecosystems—supporting hundreds of rural, coastal and Indigenous communities.
As countries seek more durable and diversified growth models, Canada’s ocean sectors offer a pathway to strengthen trade resilience, enhance food and resource security, and drive high-value innovation. This session explores how expanding and investing in the full breadth of Canada’s Blue Economy can secure long-term prosperity, reinforce inclusive growth, and position Canada as a leader in sustainable ocean-driven development.
