About
Tanvi Asolker, a final year student at Monash University Malaysia, presented research on the Blueprint Initiative for the Underwater Domain Awareness Framework (UDA) at MRC. He discussed the initiative’s objectives, link to the blue economy and sustainability, applications for India, limitations, and future scope. Blue bonds, a financial tool for ocean-related projects, are highlighted for developing India’s blue economy. The blue economy emphasizes ocean conservation and sustainable management, while the UDA framework aims for effective governance and sustainable resource use. Reframing the ocean economy can guide policy-making towards sustainability, aligning with UN Development Goals.
