The aim of the Rod Blue Way forward project is to introduce the concept of the blue economy to students and promote awareness of sustainable practices in coastal areas. This project recognises the potential for innovation and sustainability that the blue economy offers, as long as it is managed and invested in with respect for the marine environment and quality of life. The multi-sectorial approach of this project is focused on improving children's understanding of the connections between water, waste, food, and the environment. It goes beyond mere resource preservation and instead emphasises practical ways to create a healthy learning environment and promote environmentally-friendly technologies and practices that can be replicated in the community. Through this project, students are encouraged to become agents of change in their communities and to become champions for the environment. The Rod Blue Way forward project is flexible and can be tailored to meet the unique needs and priorities of different schools and communities.
