Ocean Economics is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the nexus of ocean-related industries, economic systems, and sustainable development. The journal provides a global platform for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to explore the economic dimensions of the ocean and its role in shaping a sustainable and resilient future.

The journal aims to promote high-quality theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented research that enhances understanding of marine and coastal economies, fosters innovation in ocean-based industries, and supports evidence-based decision-making in the context of the rapidly evolving global “blue economy,” as highlighted by international frameworks from organizations such as the World Bank and the OECD.
