(Adnkronos) - Prete: “La blue ecomomy è una realtà più complessa di quanto venga percepita. Di primo acchito si pensa alla pesca, alla cantieristica, al commercio marittimo, magari dimenticando il turismo balneare. Ed è anche un comparto attento alla sostenibilità, che guarda alla transizione green. Il fatto che il numero delle imprese, a fronte di una crescita occupazionale, resti costante, può essere collegato proprio ad aspetti quali l’attenzione all’ambiente. Oggi si parla anche di elettrificazione dei porti, di propulsione a idrogeno per le navi… L’attenzione al mondo dell’economia del mare è elevata. Il Rapporto incoraggia e sostiene questa visione, e mi pare che rispecchi la volontà del Governo, che si riscontra anche nell’avere istituito il Ministero del Mare”. Queste le dichiarazioni rilasciate da Andrea Prete, Presidente Unioncamere, in occasione della presentazione del XII Rapporto sull’Economia del Mare, tenutasi a Roma presso la sede di Unioncamere.

00:00Surely the blue economy, perhaps in recent years, is much more focused than in previous years.
00:10Because the sea economy, one sees it only sometimes in the direct aspect,
00:17that is, everything that is explicitly related to the sea.
00:20So let's think about ships, maritime trade, let's think about fishing, fishing.
00:27The blue economy is much more, because obviously there is also the tourist activity,
00:32the swimming activity, the activity related to the promotion of accommodation on the beaches.
00:41So I mean, it's a whole world that revolves around the blue economy,
00:45which, among other things, is an area that looks a lot at sustainability
00:51and therefore looks a lot at the green transition.
00:54I believe that the numbers that are very positive on the blue economy,
00:58those that we have heard from the ratio in growth of added value compared to the national average,
01:05in occupational growth, in the stability of the number of companies,
01:09are precisely due to the fact that the vision of the blue economy has always been a vision
01:14that looks at the environment, at sustainability, both in terms of tourism,
01:18sustainable tourism after the pandemic is the most sought after, we all know that.
01:23And therefore also the quality of life and also the holiday in nature.
01:29The ports, today we look carefully at the electrification of the ports,
01:33to prevent that in urban centers, where often the ports are located,
01:40in some way they create sources of pollution.
01:44The fuel for the ships, we look to the future, we study the proportions with hydrogen.
01:50Therefore, the whole world of the blue economy has great attention to the reduction of plastics.
01:56The goal is always to gradually reduce the size of plastics from the seas.
02:02So I want to say that it is certainly an economy that looks above all at the south of the country.
02:07This is another positive side because a large part,
02:10a third of the economy of added value is concretized in southern Italy.
