The Blue Economy is a regenerative practice. Understanding that the natural world is the foundation of assets upon which economies and societies rest. Regenerating the natural world is therefore a key consideration in all Blue Economy activities. Of course, that does not mean that physical development of infrastructure can not happen. It does mean that when physical infrastructure is required the impact on the natural world, the loss of bio diversity, the reduction in ecological resilience must be considered and mitigated. It is for this reason that SeaHives is an important step forwards, that supports the regeneration of the natural world on two fronts. Made from recycled ocean plastic they improve ocean health by removing pollution and once installed they acting as a catalyst for the regeneration of ocean life. SeaHives improve biodiversity and bring all the benefits associated with that – healthy, sustainable oceans offer healthy sustainable societies and economies. Furthermore, SeaHives can be manufactured locally to create new jobs for coastal communities.
