Marine ecosystems

We collaborate with marine actors from across sectors and disciplines to develop projects and specific solutions that increase the readiness of marine restoration solutions.

Healthy marine ecosystems deliver crucial socioeconomic and environmental benefits to societies beyond coastal communities, including carbon sequestration. However, pressures such as climate change, bottom trawling, coastal development, and eutrophication are contributing to widespread degradation of marine ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide.

What do we do?

Bring together impact partnerships

We establish multi-actor, impact-driven partnerships to develop, test, and scale technological, policy, financial, and market solutions.

Conceptualisation and design of impact solutions

We develop, test, and scale tailored solutions to increase the readiness of each use-case (e.g. innovation networks, transnational pilots, accelerator programmes, market readiness assessments, policy briefs, and roadmaps), while prioritising the value of natural assets and associated ecosystem services.

Communication and advocacy

We raise the profile of sustainable land and sea management solutions as win-win alternatives for nature and people, through our extensive communications expertise.

Sharing knowledge

We advance the state-of-the art and drive capacity building through peer-learning programmes and sessions. We do so by actively involving actors from across the quadruple helix (academia, private sector, public sector, and civil society) to create value from multi-actor perspectives.
