In order to inform the PETR of the Pays de Saint-Brieuc for the preparation of the new Community-led local development (for local actors) strategy of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) 2021-2027, Vertigo Lab evaluated the weight and socio-economic impacts of the blue economy sectors in the Pays de Saint-Brieuc and in the Côtes d’Armor using the ImpacTer tool. The objective is to estimate the weight of local maritime activities. Consultation with key players completes this diagnosis by identifying economic growth potentials. This analysis gives institutional and socio-professional actors visibility on the socio-economic impact of the blue economy in order to facilitate the coordination of future actions.
Results
The project made it possible to assess the weight of the blue economy of the Pays de Saint-Brieuc. In 2019, it generated 327.7 million euros of production and 143.8 million euros of added value, for a total of 2,522 FTE jobs supported. Thus, the direct impacts of the blue economy of the Pays de Saint-Brieuc contributed up to 0.92% of the GDP of the Côtes-d’Armor department. Including indirect and induced impacts (supply chain and employee spending), the impact of the blue economy sector in Saint-Brieuc was estimated at 413.6 million euros of production and 191.5 million euros of added value, for a total of 2,877 FTE jobs supported at the department level.
