I want to thank my colleagues for their amendments to the Blue Economy bill. The blue economy is vital as it harnesses the potential of our coastal and marine environments, promoting sustainable growth while preserving marine biodiversity. We have been diligently working on polishing this bill, engaging in comprehensive discussions with relevant stakeholders to carefully craft its provisions. Our collaborative efforts aim to recognize and maximize the potential of our coastal and marine areas, ensuring they become integral to our economic growth and environmental sustainability. Today’s amendments reflect our broader vision of a sustainable and prosperous future, where our coastal and marine environments play a central role in our development strategy.
