太平洋小海岛国家的蓝色经济

Blue Economy in Pacific Small Island Countries and Territories

22个太平洋小海岛国家和地区管辖着近三分之一的太平洋海域,尽管海洋是小海岛国家经济、社会和文化的主要来源,并为他们提供了生计和安全的食品,但关于海洋的贡献的研究却很少。太平洋小海岛国家的海洋经济活动主要包括渔业、旅游业、交通和矿业。在2011年的Rio+20会议上,小海岛国家首次提出了依赖于海洋的蓝色经济。在总结海洋产业对小海岛国家的贡献的基础上,分析了小海岛国家推动蓝色经济发展的背景、内容和深层次的原因,并希望通过海洋资源为小海岛国家带来更多的利益。

The 22 Pacific Small Island Countries and Territories （PSICTs） govern approximately a third of this vast ocean. Very few such studies have been carried out for the ocean although ocean is their major economic, social, and cultural lifelines and its coastal and marine environments provide livelihood and food security for millions of islanders. Key economic activities of the PSICTs include subsistence and commercial coastal and industrial offshore fisheries, marine tourism, shipping and mining, and so on. The term ＂blue economy＂ has been used by the PSIDS in New York to refer to their efforts to highlight the importance of the conservation and sustainable management of marine and ocean resources in the Rio＋20 Meeting on Nov. 1 2011. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the known economic contributions of sectors associated with the Pacific Ocean within the PSICTs boundaries and analyses the background, priorities they want deeper cause of promoting the development of blue economy by PSICTs who, to enjoy a greater share in the benefits derived from those resources.
