Iran Press/ Iran News: Maritime economy, which has recently received more attention in Iran, is a very general issue, and it is necessary to draw a clear picture of it.
The definition of a maritime economy, commonly referred to in the world literature as the Blue Economy, is the sustainable use of the capacity of water resources and expanses, including oceans, seas, lakes, and islands, for economic growth, improving livelihoods, and creating employment, and ultimately GDP growth.
Iran's geographical position for Blue Economy
Iran has a key and sensitive role due to its geopolitical position in the region and the world; therefore, due to having more than 5800 km of coastlines, access to the sea in the north and south, and access to open waters of the Indian Ocean, adjacent to the strategic Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and located in international transit corridors, could pursue sustainable development with a maritime approach, referred to as "Sea-based development."
The representative of Shiraz in the parliament said paying attention to the maritime economy can help empower and eliminate deprivation and develop deprived areas.
According to Jafar Ghaderi, Iran's economy is heavily dependent on oil and is an oil-based economy; The economy of the virtual environment in the country should be considered in the sense that the sea, mountains, forests, deserts, plains, mines, and other fields should be regarded as based on land management to improve the unfavorable economic situation in the current situation.
Jafar Ghaderi added: "Paying attention to the maritime economy can help empower and eliminate deprivation and develop under-developed areas."
The parliamentarian, noting that decentralization should be given to the administration, said: "The administration should immediately eliminate parallel bodies in order to prevent corruption."
Ghaderi also said: "The cost of educational and health services in the country is high and it is necessary to pay serious attention to the capacity of non-governmental sectors and the optimal use of these resources, as well as the location of health and medical units in the country."
