Being third edition of HELM – PwC Economy of the Sea Barometer (Canary Islands), much effort has been made by various entities in order to quantitatively evaluate the importance of the economy of the sea in Canary Islands. Some progress has been made; however, the weight of the economic activities related with the sea in the local economy continues to be difficult to measure and evaluate. The current indicators do not yet allow measurement of the real impact of these activities in the local economy with total precision.
With HELM – PwC Economy of the Sea Barometer (Canary Islands), we aim to build a tool that helps clarify the current situation of this resource in Canary Islands, as well as its prospects for the future. The HELM aims to be an instrument of observation that enables its users to obtain useful information in an accessible format.
HELM is a long-term project that operates as a compilation of data that allows us, over time, to accompany the evolution of the economy of the sea in Canary Islands. Simultaneously, it enables trend analysis and the evaluation of decisions that are being taken by various economic agents.
