日本のGX文脈において
ナイジェリアの事例は、日本の洋上風力や海事産業が直面する課題（資金、規制）と共通点があり、国際協力・投資の観点で参考になる。ただし、日本のGX政策（洋上風力推進）に直接の示唆は限定的。
In the global GX context
The paper contributes to global GX discourse by illustrating how developing economies can transition from fossil fuels to a sustainable blue economy, highlighting common barriers (financing, regulation) in offshore renewables and coastal tourism.

🔬研究者:Provides a comprehensive synthesis of blue economy sectors in a developing country context, useful for comparative studies.
🏛政策担当者:Offers evidence of systemic impediments to blue economy development, informing policy design for diversification strategies.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The persistent over-reliance on hydrocarbon revenues has rendered the Nigerian economy acutely vulnerable to exogenous shocks, necessitating an urgent scholarly and policy pivot towards sustainable diversification strategies. This paper interrogates the underexplored fiscal and developmental potentials embedded within the nation’s blue economy, with a focused analysis on three pivotal sectors: coastal tourism, offshore renewable energy, and maritime small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Employing a qualitative desk-review methodology that synthesizes secondary data from national agencies, peer-reviewed literature, and extant policy documents, the study constructs a nuanced narrative of latent opportunity constrained by systemic impediments. Findings indicate that Nigeria’s extensive coastline and aquatic endowments harbour significant, yet largely untapped, capacity for job creation, GDP augmentation, and sustainable industrial growth. Coastal tourism, for instance, remains hampered by infrastructural deficits and security concerns, despite its proven potential for foreign exchange earnings and community upliftment. Similarly, the potential for offshore wind, tidal, and solar energy presents a viable pathway for energy security and low-carbon transition, but is stymied by prohibitive upfront capital requirements and an immature regulatory ecosystem. Concurrently, maritime SMEs, which constitute the backbone of the aquatic industrial ecosystem, face crippling logistical and financing bottlenecks that stifle scalability
