Fishery Cooperatives and Sustainable Blue Economy: Scoping Review from a Business Perspective

Abstract

The Fishery Cooperative is one of the economic entities engaged in fisheries. Although the concept of a blue economy emerged in 2014, there is no research linking fishery cooperatives with the blue economy. Therefore, this scoping review aims to identify evidence of the contribution of fishery cooperatives to a sustainable blue economy, especially from a business perspective. This scoping review uses all articles in the SCOPUS database. The scoping review shows that the fishery cooperative supports a sustainable blue economy. It can increase economic growth by increasing fishermen’s harvest, improving fisheries and non-fisheries sectors, and developing a sustainable environment and economy.
