Fig 2 . Our vision of a more sustainable offshore Blue Economy in 2030. Each descriptor of the sustainable 2030 (e.g. structured approach to offshore developments) has the potential to contribute to the achievement of one or more Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. SDGs 9 and 14). This is conditional on shifts in the intensity and direction of the driver linking the descriptor with the SDG (e.g. Governance). Examples of tangible actions that support society in moving towards the sustainable 2030 are provided (see Table S2 for more details on actions). The offshore Blue Economy also plays a key role in meeting SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 15 (Climate Actions), and we refer in the text to other papers of the Future Seas special issues for a thorough consideration of these topics.
