HELM - PwC Economy of the Sea Barometer (Ireland)

Ireland has in the ocean a huge economic development potential. In this document we present a summary of relevant matters about the economy of the sea of Ireland in the world.

PwC Portugal has been assessing the usage of the seas for 10 years, as part of the international HELM project. It's a unique barometer of the health of the various industries that depend on the oceans, and captures the new and emerging trends affecting them. In this report we look in particular at the challenges and advantages of taking an integrated approach to the oceans: the issues that arise, the practicalities that need to be addressed, and the size of the prize if this can be achieved. We also provide a snapshot of the state of play in the maritime industries, and between the maritime nations.
