ABSTRACT

The Bay of Bengal region is strategically and economically important for a number of reasons, with its key location, abundant natural resources, but in addition to potentials also prone to vulnerabilities, including threats to marine spaces. These variables collectively affect the policies of littoral states surrounding the Bay. The interconnected destinies of the people in the Bay region, however, demand a comprehensive approach. The concept of a “blue economy” aims to recognise and address challenges to the health of the seas while also embracing the benefits associated with them. India’s approach to the Bay and her efforts to preserve, manage, and safeguard it, are examined in this article, with focus on a cooperative approach, through regional collaboration, under the rubric of the blue economy.

摘要

出于多种原因，孟加拉湾地区具有重要的战略和经济意义，其地理位置优越，自然资源丰富，但除潜力外，还容易出现脆弱性，包括对海洋空间的威胁。这些变量共同影响着海湾沿岸国家的政策。然而，海湾地区人民相互关联的命运需要一种综合的方法。“蓝色经济”的概念旨在认识和应对海洋健康面临的挑战，同时享受与之相关的好处。本文审视了印度对海湾的态度及其保护、管理和保护海湾的努力，重点是在蓝色经济的标题下通过区域合作采取合作方式。
