Building an economy for Meriath; A Just, Blue, Ethical economy.

An economy is not just numbers. It's the lifeblood of a nation, of people, of individuals. But what good is a lifeblood if it exploits? If it doesn't work? That's why the PPS was elected. To create an economy that doesn't exploit, but is just and ethical. To create an economy that works for all because it is moral and just. But that actually requires an economy first. To that end, President Vaganay has outlined a plan to rebuild the economy, following the agreed upon consensus for a tourist blue economy.
As such, the Autorité Nationale de Développement Maritime (National Maritime Development Authority) will be created with the task of overseeing all economic Maritime management, such as fisheries, aquaculture and general management. To start off with building up the economy, fisheries will be created with a focus on low impact specifies such as shellfish and seaweed. Obviously this won't encompass the entire country, but it'll be a start to get workers employed. These fisheries will be mixed, with public fisheries adopting worker input whilst private ones will be given tax breaks and subsidies for adopting worker input.
Alongside this, training programs to ensure competentcy. These programs will be directly paid for by the state, with an special focus on sustainability, processing and value added products. These programs will be offered to public and private fisheries. To ensure fisheries don't spoil their goods, storages will be created to ensure no spoilage occurs. But the most valuable thing besides the fisheries will be the creation of small scale processing plants. While the economy and aquaculture industry isn't in any position for mass industrialization to the island, this still keeps jobs here and provides value to local communities, encouraging local development. Whether it be fish, shellfish, or something like cleaning, filleting, or packaging, these plants will be invaluable to local economics beyond Leria, such as Ajia or Baszanna. To ensure this industry doesn't collapse, special zones will be established, maritime conservation zones to ensure environmental protection (for future tourism), and to ensure fish recover.
The biggest issue is of course, exporting. It doesn't help if we're forced to export to a handful of nations. A diverse market is healthy and moral. But that's easier said then done when you can count with your fingers what nations recognize Meriath. That'll be an issue for the Vaganay Presidency to resolve but for now, jobs and the economy are the focus.
