Francuska koncepcja mocarstwa morskiego została oparta na tezie, iż państwo o takim potencjale i położeniu geograficznym powinno kreować regionalne projekty długofalowej zrównoważonej eksploatacji akwenów morskich i regionów przybrzeżnych. Koncepcja ta została dostosowana do istniejących uwarunkowań politycznych, a zwłaszcza faktu funkcjonowania w strukturze państwa zamorskich posiadłości pozaeuropejskich (terytoria zależne). Francuska mocarstwowość morska jest postrzegana także jako zdolność do kreowania procesów rozwojowych wokół terytoriów zależnych. W oparciu o dokonane analizy oficjalnych dokumentów strategicznych (zwłaszcza Stratégie nationale pour la mer et le littoral z 2017 roku) stwierdzono, że najefektywniejszym instrumentem tej polityki jest wykorzystanie regionalnych układów politycznych, w których rolę kreatora działań odgrywać będzie Francja. Formuła tego zaangażowania jest ściśle dostosowana do specyfiki francuskich interesów w danym regionie i prowadzona przez państwowych interesariuszy z wykorzystaniem możliwości jakie daje członkostwo w Unii Europejskiej. Jej ograniczeniem jest natomiast potencjał gospodarczy jakim dysponuje Republika Francuska.

The French concept of a maritime power was based on the thesis that a state with such potential and geographical location should create regional projects for the long-term sustainable exploitation of the sea basins and coastal regions. This concept was adapted to the existing political conditions, especially the fact that overseas non-European possessions (dependent territories) function within the state structure. French maritime power is also seen as the ability to create development processes around dependent territories. Based on analyses of official strategic documents, including the Stratégie nationale pour la mer et le littoral (2017), it was concluded that the most effective instrument of this policy is the use of regional political arrangements, in which France will play the role of creator of activities. The formula for this engagement is strictly tailored to the specifics of French interests in a given region and conducted by state stakeholders using the opportunities offered by membership in the European Union. Its limitation, however, is the economic potential available to the Fifth Republic.
