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.

Abstract

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.
