Purpose This paper aims to assess and empirically analyze the impact of marine production manufacturing on gross domestic product (GDP) indicators as a comparative study in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Design/methodology/approach This study used analytical quantitative approaches to assess the impact of marine production manufacturing on GDP between GCC countries over the period from 2007 to 2015. The data were collected from Global Competitiveness Reports during 2006-2016 and from Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO 2015 reports. Findings The results show that Saudi Arabia country has the highest production of marine while Bahrain country is the lowest in GCC. The results of ordinary least squares test show that marine production has a statistical significance on GDP indicators as Pearson correlation matrix shows a strong relationship between all variables. Practical implications The main conclusion is that GCC countries must adopt a regional strategy to support maritime activities, especially in the light of green environmental fluctuations. Integrated management plans are also needed to protect vital coastal ecosystems while allowing economic growth and ensuring a better quality of life for all coastal populations. Comprehensive and collaborative leadership provides effective long-term management of coastal ecosystems in the GCC. In addition, GCC countries have high competition with each other for their market share in the global export-based marine production manufacturing. Originality/value This paper is the first to present most wealthy GCC countries in terms of marine production manufacturing. Marine production manufacturing introduces to create a new competitive market that generates distinctive internal capabilities for survival and growth in international markets.

评估海洋生产制造业对国内生产总值指标的影响

目的本文旨在通过海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家的比较研究，评估和凭经验分析海洋生产制造业对国内生产总值（GDP）指标的影响。设计/方法/方法这项研究使用分析定量方法来评估2007年至2015年期间海湾合作委员会国家之间海洋生产制造业对GDP的影响。数据摘自2006-2016年全球竞争力报告以及粮食与农业组织联合国，粮农组织2015年报告。研究结果表明，沙特阿拉伯国家的海洋产品产量最高，而巴林国家的海湾合作委员会产量最低。普通最小二乘检验的结果表明，海洋生产对GDP指标具有统计意义，因为Pearson相关矩阵显示所有变量之间都有很强的关系。实际意义主要结论是，海湾合作委员会国家必须采取区域战略来支持海上活动，尤其是考虑到绿色环境的波动。还需要综合管理计划，以保护重要的沿海生态系统，同时实现经济增长并确保所有沿海人口的生活质量得到改善。全面合作的领导层可对海湾合作委员会的沿海生态系统进行有效的长期管理。此外，海湾合作委员会国家在全球出口型海洋生产制造业中的市场份额也相互竞争激烈。原创性/价值本文是就海洋生产制造业而言最富裕的海湾合作委员会国家的第一本报告。海洋生产制造业的引入创造了一个新的竞争市场，产生了独特的内部能力以在国际市场上生存和发展。
