When we began the process to develop a plan to accelerate the Blue Economy here in Washington, the governor called together a Maritime Innovation Advisory Council made up of state and local government leaders, industry executives, leaders from research institutions, organized labor, tribes, workforce development, and community groups. It’s a unique role: I serve as a policy advisor specific to my sector as well as lead strategic economic development goals. In my current role, my job is to be the liaison between industry interests and state government. Having previously worked to stand up a statewide trade association for the breadth of the industry, one of the key goals was to better tell their story of environmental leadership. This has truly been a public and private partnership from the beginning. What are the essential elements that brought Maritime Blue to fruition? The release of Washington State’s Strategy for the Blue Economy with Governor Inslee and his Maritime Innovation Advisory Council
Washington is primed to become a leader in maritime innovation. We have a $10 billion fishing industry, a robust supply chain, service industry, and world class research institutions working on everything from underwater robotics to novel energy storage technologies. Combine this work with a rapidly growing tech industry driven by groups like Microsoft and Amazon, high amounts of capital looking for investments, a strong environmental conservation ethic, and a culture of collaboration. We design and build world class vessels, operate the largest ferry system in the US, are home to the fastest growing cruise industry, and serve as a world class boating destination. Washington’s maritime industry contributes over $37 billion to our state’s economy, employing nearly 100,000 direct jobs and impacting over 200,000 more, making it the most trade dependent state in the US. Therefore, the state’s maritime industry is incredibly diverse and interdependent. We are in the Pacific Northwest which sometimes feels removed from other maritime regions. What is unique about the Pacific Northwest that led to the creation of Maritime Blue? Read his answers to my questions about Maritime Blue below. Joshua Berger, the governor’s Maritime Sector Lead, laid much of the groundwork leading up the launch of this initiative. The initiative is meant to build on Washington’s strengths as a global leader in maritime technology innovation and best practices.
