Throughout the history of Connecticut, maritime activities have been a significant part of its economic mix. While the composition of the cluster has evolved over the past 370 years, it remains a vital part of the state’s economy and environmental activities.
The maritime cluster is composed of a set of four distinct components: transportation, manufacturing, recreation and commercial fishing, that currently generates direct revenues in excess of $2.6 billion in Connecticut.
The cluster has functional linkage to a wide range of other economic activities and serves a broad customer base with direct and indirect impacts on every citizen of the state. The direct impacts range from employment and job creation to local, state and federal taxes, while indirect impacts range from cost of goods to quality of life.
As part of the Connecticut Maritime Coalition's public information program set forth in 2000, we are focused on marketing the maritime cluster within the state to the public, private and institutional sectors. The goal of the public information program is to build broad-based public consensus on the importance of the maritime cluster on the state’s economy and quality of life. For more information about the Connecticut Maritime Commission's Strategic Cluster Initiative, see our report here.
