This book, the first of two volumes, offers a comprehensive guide to the blue economy and the economic activity of African coastal communities. It brings together a broad range of topics, from local policymaking to marine conservation activities, that enable sustainable growth within African marine economies. The requirements for sustainable development in Africa are outlined, with a particular focus on economic resilience, climate change mitigation, and practical policymaking. Case studies from Ghana, Namibia, Mauritius, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Cabo Verde, and other sub-Saharan African countries highlight how the circular economy, the blue economy, and gender equality can be implemented and promoted within Africa, particularly coastal states.This book presents a practical framework for understanding and maximising the long-term economic development of coastal communities. It will be relevant to students, researchers, academicians, and policymakers interested in development, resources, maritime, and African economics.
