Abstract

IN ENGLISH: To fulfill the Blue Economy’s promise of sustainable and just ocean use, its scientific foundation must more fully integrate the social sciences. Drawing on insights from real-world scientific networking initiatives, we identify three key contributions of the social sciences and propose a strategy to redefine the Blue Economy. This strategy anchors knowledge in societal challenges and emphasizes co-creation, the science-policy interface, knowledge integration, and the values of accountability and care. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Kako bi plava ekonomija ispunila svoje obećanje o održivom i pravednom korištenju oceana, njezina znanstvena osnova mora u većoj mjeri uključiti društvene znanosti. Oslanjajući se na spoznaje iz konkretnih inicijativa znanstvenog umrežavanja, identificiraju se tri ključna doprinosa društvenih znanosti i predlažu strategiju za redefiniranje plave ekonomije. Ova strategija znanje usmjerava na društvene izazove i naglašava sukreaciju, povezanost znanosti i politike, integraciju znanja te vrijednosti odgovornosti i brige.
