Ocean- and coastal-based economic activities are increasingly recognised as key drivers for supporting global economies. This move towards the “blue economy” is becoming globally widespread, with the recognition that if ocean-based activities are to be sustainable, they will need to move beyond solely extractive and exploitative endeavours, aligning more closely with marine conservation and effective marine spatial planning. In this paper we define the “blue economy” as a “platform for strategic, integrated and participatory coastal and ocean development and protection that incorporates a low carbon economy, the ecosystem approach and human well-being through advancing regional industries, services and activities”. In Peru, while the seas contribute greatly to the national economy, the full potential of the blue economy has yet to be realised. This paper presents the findings of an early career scientist workshop in Lima, Peru, in March 2016. The workshop “Advancing Green Growth in Peru” brought together researchers to identify challenges and opportunities for green growth across three Peruvian economic sectors—tourism, transport and the blue economy with this paper exploring in detail the priorities generated from the “blue economy” stream. These priorities include themes such as marine spatial planning, detailed evaluations of existing maritime industries (e.g. guano collection and fisheries), development of an effective MPA network, support for sustainable coastal tourism, and better inclusion of social science disciplines in understanding societal and political support for a Peruvian blue economy. In addition, the paper discusses the research requirements associated with these priorities. While not a comprehensive list, these priorities provide a starting point for future dialogue on a co-ordinated scientific platform supporting the blue growth agenda in Peru, and in other regions working towards a successful “blue economy”.

Los problemas socioambientales en nuestro pais han dejado de ser temas secundarios, para pasar a ser temas que componen las primeras planas en los medio de informacion. La educacion ambiental tiene un rol fundamental, para darle solucion a los problemas socioambientales y evitar que estos sigan aumentando. El Estado, por tener en sus manos el grueso de estudiantes de nuestro pais, tiene un rol fundamental en la propuesta y ejecucion de politicas educativas que permitan incluir los temas ambientales en la formacion de una conciencia ambiental comun en la sociedad. El presente ensayo discute tres de los retos mas importantes de la educacion ambiental en el Peru: la horizontalidad de los temas ambientales, la necesidad de actualizacion en conocimiento de los maestros y la necesidad de la formacion etico–ambiental en el hogar.
