Indonesia adalah negara maritim, dengan garis pantai terpanjang kedua di dunia, yang membuat Indonesia menjadi negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia. Potensi maritim yang besar, membuat sektor pariwisata Indonesia terus bertumbuh. Laut adalah sumber mata pencaharian bagi banyak orang. Laut pun mengalami kenaikan nilai ekonomi, yang juga membawa berkah bagi wilayah-wilayah di sekitarnya. Namun, tanpa perilaku yang bertanggungjawab, akan menyebabkan munculnya berbagai dampak negatif. Sampah dan polusi, rusaknya ekosistem bahari, gangguan pada spesies-spesies laut, konflik kepemilikan lahan, dapat menyebabkan kondisi ekonomi dan potensi pariwisata bahari Indonesia menjadi menurun. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan sebuah konsep untuk meningkatkan pariwisata bahari Indonesia, yang dapat menjanjikan keberlangsungan alam.
SIGNING BLUE adalah sebuah inisiatif dari Yayasan WWF-Indonesia untuk menyelenggarakan pariwisata bahari yang bertanggungjawab.
