“…In other words, it is not just a question of recovering the heritage value of fish species, fishing gear and gastronomy, but of creating a set of new heritage elements, which did not previously exist as heritage but as the culture of fishermen and their families [40]. In addition, in Catalonia important actions have been carried out in lighthouses such as Vilanova i la Geltrú, where its facilities have been converted into a museum of the sea [60] and marine catastrophes have been commemorated on various beaches so that the memory of the local fishermen continue to survive [61].…”

Fishing in the Mazarrón Bay has been practiced since prehistoric times. This was one of the basic pillars of the area’s economy; however, due to the development of tourism, this maritime activity has been pushed into the background. The changes in the fishermen’s way of fishing in the last decades of the 20th century, as a consequence of the proliferation of boats with greater extractive capacity, have meant that much of the fishing gear has fallen into disuse. The main objective of this research is the compilation of information on their use and the available tools of this heritage in order to preserve their history. In order to do so, the archives of the Mazarrón Fishermen’s Guild were consulted and interviews were conducted with local fishermen over 80 years of age, who fished with devices that are no longer in use today. The results show that it is possible to promote them as tourist attractions, with the aim of raising awareness of the fishing identity and the environment in which it is practiced, in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula.

“…Barnwell and Toussaint (1949), Bueger and Wovel (2018), Burns (2018) and Bush (2018) explore the industries and sectors that make up Blue Economy: fisheries, tourism, trade, and resource mining. Canterbury (2022) and Carbonell (2022) identify four conceptual interpretations of the Blue Economy: "oceans as: natural capital, livelihoods, good business, and drivers of innovation". Schutter and Hicks (2019) make it more relative to SIDS by including "oceans as integral to SIDS".…”

Does Blue Ocean become the perfect mantra for reaching desired developmental goals? Blue Economy is an essential sustainable development framework for coastal and island states who rely on the ocean and marine resources as a source of livelihood. The concept of a Blue Economy merges economic development and conservation for coastal and island states. The Seychelles and Mauritius are two Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Western Indian Ocean, faced with economic development and conservation dilemmas. Identifying and understanding the challenges and limitations of Blue Economy for SIDS are required to understand the vulnerability of those nations, which is essential to the future outcomes of sustainable development in the Seychelles and Mauritius. Adopting library research methods and online focus group conversations with different stakeholders in both countries, and over two years, during pre-and post-Covid lockdown periods, provide this paper with fascinating findings. Further identification and understanding of vulnerability, overcoming challenge and paradox of Blue Economic ideals in these two cases of SDIS refine the authors’ scepticism upon the myth of the SDG. The authors’ preliminary findings explain the difficulty of the Covid-19 pandemic in allowing both states to realise their SDG targets.
