Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to introduce the concept of the blue economy and its close connection to sustainable development efforts and environmental governance, as well as to highlight the most important agreements and initiatives in the field of the blue economy within the framework of North-South cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean. The study presents the Sustainable Blue Economy Initiative in the Western Mediterranean countries as a modern model of Euro-Mediterranean cooperation from which Algeria can benefit to address environmental challenges and create sustainable economic and social development. The study concludes with the necessity for the Algerian state to adopt marine governance as a modern approach based on the coordination of efforts among the government, civil society, and the private sector in order to achieve the national strategy for the blue economy.
