This paper <br>expounds how integration of contemporary <br>technologies with ISF-based principles can roll <br>out this vision in the South Asian context. <br>Techniques and tools such as machine <br>learning, remote sensing and predictive <br>analytics have tremendous potential for <br>enabling marine conservation, advancing <br>fisheries management, and improving disaster <br>preparedness.

Nonetheless, <br>while these tools have potential, there has been <br>limited attention to how technology and ISF <br>can promote the Blue Economy in this region. <br>This paper aims to: (1) investigate the <br>application of digital innovation for better <br>marine resource management; and (2) makes <br>rise-funding initiatives on the Blue Economy <br>possible with ISF, in respect to which it is <br>proposed a framework that interlinks both. <br>The research reveals encouraging possibilities. ―Ohel Zubgameh‖ showcases how technology <br>when mixed with Islamic finance models can <br>provide grounded pathways toward <br>implementing Sustainable Development Goals <br>(SDGs) and fostering the sustainable future of <br>oceans. Through the survey, we can observe <br>that participants are familiar with the concept <br>of blue economy at a moderate level and those <br>who‘s more familiar believe that technology, <br>particularly AI, could have a positive role to <br>play.
