The ocean economy has the potential to improve human wellbeing. Yet, in practice, its rapid acceleration is often producing few benefits and substantial social harms for rural and resource-dependent coastal communities. We urge a global transformation to a socially sustainable and equitable blue economy that benefits coastal populations.
