The Czech established Blue Economy sectors employ about 16 000 people and generates around €601 million in GVA. The Blue Economy has a very marginal impact on the Czech workforce, employing 0.3% of the national workforce. This share has been fairly constant throughout the last decade. Czech Blue Economy contributes to 0.3% of the overall GVA in 2021, continuing a stable trend that lasts more than decade.
The Czech Blue Economy is dominated by Port activities, which contribute to 65% of Czech blue jobs in 2021. This percentage is in line with those recorded in 2020 and 2019, suggesting the resistance of the sector to the Covid-19 pandemic. In terms of GVA, Port activities cover 65% of the Blue Economy GVA in 2021, an increase of almost 3% on a yearly basis. This value is also 2% higher than the one recorded in 2019.

Figure 1: Czech Republic: Evolution of the Blue Economy Established Sectors (2021)
This figure consists of two pie charts that illustrate key aspects of Czech Republic's Blue Economy in 2021.
- Left Pie Chart: This chart represents the percentage of employment across various established sectors within the Blue Economy. Each sector is depicted as a segment of the pie, with the size of each segment corresponding to its share of total employment. For example, if the segment for "Coastal Tourism" occupies a larger portion, it indicates a higher percentage of employment in that sector compared to others.
- Right Pie Chart: This chart shows the percentage of Gross Value Added (GVA) for each established sector. Similar to the left chart, each segment reflects the contribution of that sector to the overall GVA of the Blue Economy. A larger segment signifies a greater economic impact from that sector.
Together, these charts provide a visual representation of both employment distribution and economic contribution within Czech Republic's Blue Economy, highlighting the sectors that play significant roles in both areas.
