HOW TO MONITOR THE BLUE ECONOMY OF THE
ATLANTIC?
Technical workshop:
Socio-economic monitoring of
the Atlantic
Brussels, 24 March 2015
Johan Gille, Ecorys
Scope of the presentation
I.
Background: Blue Growth study and sea basin studies
II.
Method of estimating marine economy size
III. Limitations of data availability
IV. Considerations for monitoring
I. Introduction: A bit of background
• Blue Growth study: assessment of the Blue Economy at EU level
– Value chain approach
• Followed by deepening at sea basin level and country
• 4 sea-basin studies:
– Mediterreanean & Baltic (COGEA)
– Atlantic & North Sea (Ecorys)
• Countries can pertain to more than 1 sea-basin
(UK, FR, ES)
II. Country fiches: estimating blue growth
• Methodology and approach should:
– Be in line with overall Blue Growth approach
– Aim for replicability
– Aim to minimise double counting
– Consistency across countries (hence Eurostat/international
sources preferred)
• Preference for use of statistical data (Eurostat, nat stats)
Link between maritime economic activities and economic
sectors needed
• Aware that for small/pre-development activities no statistics exist
II General methodology
Allocation keys (Eurostat/national statistics or
alternative
yes
MEA value

III Summary of the results: size of Atlantic Blue
Economy
• Atlantic Arc accounts for
– 26,8 bn GVA
– 800,000 jobs
– (direct only)
– (only sectors that could
be quantified)
– (variety of allocation keys
applied)
III Summary of the results: innovation and maturity
of Atlantic Arc
Maritime economic activity
Innovation intensity
Maturity of the MEA

IV How to monitor (the impact of) the Atlantic
Action plan?
• Logical Framework approach
– Actions (activities)
– Results (outputs)
– Impacts (outcomes)
– Objectives (goals)
• To measure:
– How the world evolves (in the right direction?)
– Whether actions are contributing effectively to that
• Indicators for each layer and sources of verification
– Requires data over a period of time
– Requires also a baseline measurement (from where do you
start)
IV Components of the Atlantic Action Plan
• Four priorities defined (= specific objectives)
– Indicators for each priority?
– Target/objective aimed?
• Actions under each priority area
– To be specified? (when, where, by whom)
• Relation to other ongoing actions (EU level, national, local)
– Do you want to know the contribution, or rather the result?
• Action plan for Atlantic Arc as a whole
– Zooming in/detailing at country or regional level?
To measure is to know (or not?)
