Can Somalia’s Coast Power Its Blue Economy?

Somalia’s coastline is usually discussed as a fisheries asset, but it also sits within a much larger energy geography. Edition 03 of OPONE’s Ocean Insights Monthly Maritime Brief asks a practical question: where can clean energy unlock the greatest economic value along Somalia’s coast?

Inside the brief:

  • Why energy is Blue Economy infrastructure
  • How the cost of power affects fish quality, losses and income
  • Three investment horizons: deploy solar and storage now, develop wind with site studies, and research ocean currents, waves and tides
  • Why Somalia needs a coastal investment intelligence system, not just another resource map

Energy is not separate from the Blue Economy. It is one of the systems that can make it work.
