To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes that
Wales benefits from a long coast line and the second highest tidal reach in the
world.
2. Further notes
that economic activity related to the sea is already valued at around £2.1bn in
Wales, supporting tens of thousands of jobs.
3. Believes that
a strategic commitment to the blue economy will enable Wales to turn our seas
into one of our biggest economic assets.
4. Further
believes that Wales can be a leader in marine renewable energy, tourism and
sport, fishing, food and aquaculture, and marine manufacturing and engineering.
5. Calls on the
Welsh Government to bring forward an ambitious Marine Plan to support the
sustainable development of the blue economy and to make it a central plank of
its new economic strategy.
