Abstract :
The aim of this research is to identify the capacities of sea-based development in the Persian Gulf. To achieve this goal, the descriptive-analytical method and the SWOT matrix tool have been used. For this purpose, using the opinions of 17 experts familiar with the sea area, the strengths, weaknesses, damages and threats of sea-based development in the Persian Gulf have been identified and a case study of Bushehr province has been conducted. The research findings show that the most important strengths of sea-based development in Bushehr province are the existence of commercial and fishing ports and the existence of the necessary infrastructure for the export and import of fishery products and the existence of 936 km of maritime border and 707 km of coastal border, and the country's largest maritime border with the Persian Gulf. The most important weaknesses of sea-based development in Bushehr province are the lack of infrastructure such as energy, water and electricity, the lack of rail transport, and the inappropriateness of communication routes from Bushehr province to the center of the country. The most important opportunities for sea-based development in Bushehr province are the possibility of creating new and sustainable jobs in the field of processing and packaging of fishery products, the possibility of developing tourist areas on the coasts of the province, and the ability to create international tourism; the most important threats are the destruction of the marine environment, pollution from industry and agriculture, climate change, sea level rise, increased sea concentration due to desalination plants, and the accumulation of heavy metals.
