People with disabilities are frequently excluded from the blue economy because of enduring structural barriers, despite the fact that it offers great opportunities for ecologically aware growth. This chapter examines how inclusive education and career training can enable PWDs to engage fairly in the maritime and coastal industries. Through an analysis of global case studies, policy frameworks, and innovative partnerships, it pinpoints strategies for bridging employment, skill development and accessibility barriers. The discussion begins by identifying key challenges—such as inaccessible infrastructure, attitudinal biases and gaps in tailored curricula—that hinder PWDs’ engagement in fisheries, renewable energy and ecotourism. It then presents adaptive training models, including assistive technologies, community-led initiatives and digital learning platforms that enhance workforce readiness. A critical focus is placed on tripartite collaborations among universities, industries and NGOs to design inclusive programs, such as disability-friendly apprenticeships and certification courses. Examples from Thailand’s seafood industry and Scotland’s marine renewables sector illustrate successful integration of PWDs into blue economy jobs. The chapter concludes with actionable policy recommendations, advocating for stronger enforcement of disability-inclusive labor laws, targeted funding mechanisms and alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although the blue economy offers promising opportunities for growth that is ecologically conscientious, individuals with disabilities By prioritizing social justice and ensuring that no one is left behind when ocean-based firms adopt sustainable practices, our study contributes to the development of a more resilient and equitable blue economy.
