Leveraging blue spaces for public health: Co-creating a whole-system action plan
Four strategic objectives identified, achievable through 12 policy actions. Blue spaces offer significant health benefits that have historically been overlooked in regeneration projects. The co-created recommendations provide a comprehensive guide for decision-makers and practitioners to maximise the health benefits of blue spaces. Implementing these recommendations can lead to synergistic benefits for both people and the planet.
