Abstract

With ongoing global crises, the blue economy has emerged as a modern concept aiming to achieve sustainable development by protecting and optimally utilizing water resources. This economy encompasses the management of seas and oceans, as well as the development of aquatic activities such as aquaculture, which represents the fastest-growing sector in food production and accounts for approximately 50% of the fish intended for global human consumption. Studies indicate that the blue economy can act as a catalyst for policy and investment development, contributing to enhanced food security, poverty alleviation, and the preservation of aquatic biodiversity. Despite these benefits, Egypt faces challenges in utilizing its water resources, such as the Nile River and the Suez Canal, necessitating greater focus on applying the blue economy concept as part of sustainable development plans. Some studies have highlighted the aquaculture project around the Suez Canal, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency and increasing fish production. The study pointed to the use of tidal technology to renew aquaculture water, with plans to establish farms spanning 5,714 acres, including high-quality production ponds, feed factories, training and research centers, and production marketing, which contributes to reducing the fish deficit and creating job opportunities.
