Learn about our mission, what we do, and who we are.

The Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation, Inc. was established in 2017 to provide structure and support for the Cape Cod Blue Economy Project.

Launched in 2015 by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, the Blue Economy Project was a regional initiative to promote and sustain a maritime-focused economy on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and Plymouth. This effort was built on existing tourism industries, a world class marine research and technology cluster, and sustainable use planning dedicated to preserving our environment and quality of life. Initial project support funding was provided by a grant from the Baker-Polito administration’s Seaport Economic Council.

This work initiated by the Blue Economy Project continues through the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation’s programs, initiatives, and events in alignment with our mission.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help grow the region’s economy in a sustainable and balanced way, focusing on protecting and promoting our water and coastal resources.

Our Motto

Our motto is Water as Our Way of Life.

Follow the hashtag #waterasourwayoflife on all social media and make protecting water part of your way of life.

The Cape Cod region is driven by the water that surrounds us, steeped in maritime tradition and dedicated to innovation. We are a modern water-based economy that connects people to their environment, inspires learning, and shares our knowledge with the world.

What We Do

Connect

The Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation and Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce worked together to create Expedition Blue, an interactive exhibit trail across Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Expedition Blue Waypoints are a blend of interpretive structures and mobile-ready website that connect you to important waterfronts across the region. Learn more at expeditionblue.org.

Inspire

Let us inspire you with stories through our series Profiles in Blue where we learn from people working in blue economy jobs across Cape Cod. Or join us at an event like WaterWORKS where you could meet some of the people who inspire you.

Earth’s surface is about 71% water covered. It makes sense, then, that Blue Economy organizations exist all over the world. We’re learning from other organizations, partnering with them, and sharing our collective knowledge and experiences with Blue Economy organizations near and far.

The Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation's day-to-day operations are managed by Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce staff, with oversight and support from the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation Board of Directors.
