NZ Maritime Museum talk: Blue economy (Nick Lewis)
What is a ‘blue economy’, and how can Aotearoa get one? Researchers Nick Lewis and Jason Mika discuss how can we best develop our marine economy, while protecting the taonga of our marine environment.
Nick explores how some enterprising New Zealanders are using the seas in new and exciting ways, and how our industries are responding, to help create a new ‘blue’ economy for Aotearoa.
This talk took place on 17 June 2019
