Theimportance of this concept lies in its role in achieving the Sustainable DevelopmentGoals defined by the United Nations. Nevertheless, the pursuit of economic developmentcan often conflict with the principles of sustainability, underscoring the necessity ofleveraging adequate tools to address these challenges.Data science, and particularly Machine Learning, has become a valuable toolfor addressing the challenges of the Blue Economy. For example, in the field ofsustainable fishing, monitoring fish populations is highly relevant and can be achievedthrough Machine Learning models. In another area, such as maritime transport, theimplementation of weather routing tools can optimize sea routes, improving fuelefficiency and ensuring a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.This thesis will delve into the study of sustainable fishing and weather routing in thecontext of the Blue Economy, applying data science techniques to improve efficiency andsustainability in both fields YR 2023 FD 2023 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/29451 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/29451 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 10-may-2026
