Growing the Oceans Economy South Africa’s ocean economic potential ranges between R129 and R177 bn, with between 800 000 to 1 million jobs created by 2033 as compared to the current contribution of R54 bn and 316 000 jobs (in 2010 ). Envisaged economic growth by 2019 ▪ Increase up to R26 bn of GDP contribution ▪ Create approx. 65 000 new jobs Aspiration ▪ Ensure sustainability to ocean management /development Marine Transport and Offshore Oil and Aquaculture Manufacturing Gas exploration ▪ GDP ▪ GDP ▪ Promotes contribution contribution exploration in from R0.7 bn 1 from R7bn 1 to order to drill to R3 bn R14-23 bn Economic 30 exploration ▪ Jobs from ▪ Jobs from 6 sectors wells in 10 2 227 to 15 years 000 to 40 000 - 000 created 50 000 created (incl. value ▪ Market share chain) of SA ▪ Inclusive companies to growth 30% Marine Protection Services and Ocean Governance Enablers Skills and Capacity Development Research, Technology and Innovation 4 1 Baseline year 2010 Opportunities for SMMEs

However, we realise that there are still opportunities to further accelerate impact Some of the major growth and job creation roadblocks have not been unlocked In some cases, engagement with stakeholders has lost momentum Outcomes are still far away from the 2033 aspirations Effectiveness of the institutional arrangements is variable across sectors 7
Objectives of the Oceans Economy Review Workshop Share a honest representation of progress of the focus areas and cross cutting issues Identify key constraints and opportunities to accelerate impact and propose specific actions Assess the effectiveness of the institutional arrangements and identify opportunities for improvement Renew sectors’ commitment to move forward together 8
