Today, the blue economy market stands at $1.5 trillion and is expected to grow to an astonishing $24 trillion over the next three decades”— ULedger CEO

The blue economy faces critical challenges, notably the misidentification, overfishing, and lack of traceability of the fish supply chain:

It is estimated that up to 90% of all large predatory fish, such as cod, sharks, halibut, grouper, tuna, swordfish, and marlin, have been depleted. This is due to overfishing, which is one of the most significant drivers of declines in ocean wildlife populations. The entire fisheries resource base has been reduced to less than 10% worldwide since 1950, with the onset of industrialized fisheries.

Product temperature throughout the supply chain journey can significantly impact the quality and safety of the fish. Cold storage is used to store a variety of fish products and is a key component of wholesale, processed export, and retail value chain activities in many countries. However, the cold chain can be broken in many places: on the way from fishery to processing, from processing to sales businesses, or from business to home. If the temperature of the fish rises too high, the speed of spoiling increases.

Our collaboration aims to bring clarity and accountability to supply chains, enhancing sustainability and efficiency. By integrating BGA Advisor’s Solutions Navigator™ with ULedger’s ULedgerNET™ Data Integrity Blockchain technology, we're crafting cutting-edge, transparent solutions for ocean conservation.

Our joint efforts will focus on meticulous seafood tracking from ocean to table, combating harmful marine practices, and addressing key Blue Economy challenges. This partnership marks a significant step towards a more transparent, accountable, and sustainable ocean ecosystem.

“Today, the blue economy market stands at $1.5 trillion and is expected to grow to an astonishing $24 trillion over the next three decades”, says ULedger CEO Joe Honan. “With this partnership, we hope to both fuel the blue economy and level the playing field by revolutionizing transparency, efficiency, and trust, paving the way for sustainable growth, increased profits, and a more resilient, healthy ocean ecosystem that works for everyone.”

"We look forward to working together to solve some real problems with the ULedger team. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in our journey towards a transparent and sustainable Blue Economy”, says Blue-Green Advisors Founder and CEO Stuart Green. “By merging ULedger's technological prowess with our oceanic expertise, we are set to create groundbreaking solutions that will redefine industry standards and foster environmental stewardship."
