Abstract

The ‘Blue Economy’ concept aims to harness marine resources for economic growth and environmental sustainability, encompassing sectors like tourism, maritime transport, energy, fishing, and biotechnology. It contributes to global economic growth by creating jobs and supporting livelihoods. However, it faces challenges like overfishing, pollution, and climate change, which threaten marine ecosystem health. To address these challenges, cooperation, investment in research, innovation, and technology are needed. This study used a database from Scopus and analysed using the qualitative meta data literature review method of bibliometric analysis with posit RStudio. The result was 563 documents (global) found from a search on Scopus using the keyword “blue economy,” however only thirteen (13) (or 2.3% of the global) were associated with Indonesia.

The Indonesian research trend topic for the blue economy is the governance approach and the involvement and relationship between stakeholders while at the global level the trend topic is the economy, oceanography, biodiversity, environmental protection to the investment mechanism with a blue economy approach.
