Over the past entries we've discussed the importance of AI, and how we can apply it to provide solutions to different industries.<\/p>\n

Today we are going to see how AI tools are used in the Blue Economy, an emerging concept that is becoming a trend in recent years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The United Nations in 2012 introduced the term \"Blue Economy\" to refer to all economic activities linked to the sea. This includes such diverse activities as fishing, maritime transport, and even coastline tourism.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Blue Economy promotes the sustainable use of ocean resources. It aims to preserve the health of marine ecosystems and prevent pollution of the seas. This makes the Blue Economy a fundamental way to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.\u00a0Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible<\/a><\/b>\u00a0establecidos por las Naciones Unidas.<\/p>\n

As we have seen, the Blue Economy has two distinct meanings. On the one hand, the contribution of the oceans to the economy. And on the other, the need to ensure environmental and ecological sustainability. However, these two connotations may be in conflict: economic development does not always match the responsible use of resources.<\/p>\n

An example of this can be found in the merchant routes. Due to these preset routes, ships sometimes pass through adverse weather conditions. As a result, fuel consumption increases and the crew and cargo of the ship are exposed to risks.\n
\nAnother example, related to sustainable fishing, is to ensure the prosperity of fish stocks. It is necessary to monitor fish populations and avoid overfishing.<\/p>\n

Also, in the world's most important ports, congestion is a common issue due to a sub-optimal optimization of port resources. Large cargo vessels can be stuck at the entrance to the port for many hours before they are able to dock. During this time, ships consume large amounts of fuel, which is emitted into the atmosphere and oceans as polluting agents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
