Defence capacity building objective, main actors, and ways of
delivery
The main role(s) of defence in blue economy Maritime Security “Risks and Threats” Defence Capacity Needs in international and national level
2
The overall objective of defence CB is to enable a country to take
care of its own security, safety and governance
Help to manage the country’s marine resources, strengthen its
maritime defence capability
To maintain maritime stability and resilience through building of
security, safety and governance architecture of the receiving countries

Advice Training Institutional/ organizational building Education Mentoring within the security sector Funding/ building Projects Stability Promotion
5
Achieve security, safety and maritime governance
By protection of seas and oceans to provide peace, security and
stability, thus make the maritime space the key driver for sustainable economic development
In the absence of security, the vast majority of the economic
activities associated with the Blue Economy cannot be effectively carried out
Unsecured ocean territories constitute ungoverned spaces in which
criminals, insurgents and terrorists can operate with impunity
6
The security of the States/ Region and their citizens Preservation of peace and rule of law, prevention of conflicts Prevention and countering cross-border illegal activities Protection of people, infrastructures, maritime activities (risk/threat) The preservation of freedom of navigation (SC, IP
, ships, crew)
7
The protection of economic interests (marine exploitation, MEI, IUU, Fishing fleet,
zones delimitation)
Environment protection & climate change impacts mitigation in maritime areas and
coastal regions
Promotion of scientific research and innovation projects SAR operations
8
IUU: Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing Piracy and armed Robbery Crime ( smuggling of arms & narc, Human and drug trafficking,
Slavery)
Ecological and natural disasters Terrorism (against ships at sea/ports, cargo, crew and passengers,
ports and port facilities and critical maritime and energy infrastructure, including cyber-attacks)
9
Accidents (collisions) Environmental risks : illegal or accidental discharge; dumping of
waste; chemical, biological and nuclear pollution
Climate change (impacts on the maritime transport system and in
particular on maritime infrastructure)
Proliferation of WMD Illegal and unregulated archaeological research and pillage of
archaeological objects.
10
Strengthening Countries’ response to maritime security risks & threats Capability enhancement and development The promotion of common maritime situational awareness Strengthen cooperation and collaboration in maritime safety and security
to protect and safeguard Country’s interests nationally or internationally
Strengthening cross-border cooperation and information exchange Further improving cross-sectoral cooperation and interoperability at
