SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "Coastal community wellbeing - why should we care?"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another free online Speed Networking event over lunchtime!

Register for our Newsletter to stay up-to-date! \nThis month’s theme: \n_________\n \n“Coastal community wellbeing in a changing environment – why should we care?”\nSpeaker: Dr Karen Alexander (Heriot-Watt University\, Scotland) \nWe are at a pivotal moment in the future of our ocean. Disputes over the use of marine resources and real estate are ubiquitous but are likely to increase in frequency and intensity. We can carry on with established ‘ways of doing’ which risk embedding management processes resulting in conflicts that can become increasingly hard to untangle or we can instead set a precedent for a more balanced ocean future by exploring how wellbeing might be considered in environmental management and decision-making. \nDr Alexander is a marine socio-ecologist focusing on environmental stewardship and ocean and coastal conflict. She is currently Assistant Professor in Marine Governance and Blue Economy in the International Centre for Island Technology at Heriot-Watt University.\n_________ \nInterested? Just select the number of tickets you’d like to acquire below\, register and a link to join will be send to you the week before the event.  \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n

I work on projects relating to offshore MPA’s within the UK and internationally through the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP).\nSomething that became apparent to me on the master’s programme within St Andrews is that I had many questions about what it is to be female within the field of marine science and what that meant for my future. There are many amazing women within the field at St Andrews\, so it was hard to know exactly who to talk to! I also felt that many people may benefit from the answers I may find. With the help of Dr Carol Sparling\, Director of the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU)\, I put together the Women in Ocean Sciences in St Andrews (WOSiStA) panel event where 5 incredible women from academia and industry shared their experiences and advice.” \nJoin us and register below\, the Event Link will be sent to you closer to the time.

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "#IESTurningTheTide: Working across disciplines"
DESCRIPTION:The Ocean Partnerships Network is hosting another Speed Networking event\, this time in collaboration with the Institution of Environmental Sciences! After a 10 minute introduction the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. \nA fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nThis Week’s Theme: “Working across disciplines and sectors to solve environmental challenges”\nSpeaker: Dr Kathryn Fradera\, Howell Marine Consulting \nWithin the wide array of marine-related disciplines we all have our niches and specialties\, and we all have important roles to play in the offshore projects we help to make happen. In our focus on our specialties are we risking limiting innovation and problem-solving? The environmental challenges we face need joined-up thinking\, and nowhere is this truer than with the large-scale developments\, and conservation challenges\, in our marine spaces. We need solutions where the engineering design is compatible with environmental protection. Interested? \nMore Info on Content and Registration Here! \n  \n \nNot yet subscribed to the Ocean Partnerships Newsletter? Our aim is to connect people and foster collaborations. Ocean Partnerships recognises the need for practitioners from different disciplines to interact\, exchange experiences and ideas. Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun!

SUMMARY:Ocean Partnerships Speed Networking "Seaweed: to farm or not to farm?"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ocean Partnerships Network for another online Speed Networking event over lunchtime! After a 10 minute introduction to this month’s theme\, the Speed Networking begins and you will be paired up with different people for 7 minutes at a time over the course of the hour. A fantastic way to meet people outside your usual network! \nOur aim is to connect people and foster collaborations.

Based on key marine related themes\, our events are designed to provide opportunities for people from the sciences\, arts\, policy\, private and public sectors to discuss topics of interest\, network and just have fun! \nThis month’s theme has been chosen by Dr Andrew Blight\, Lecturer at the School of Biology\, University of St Andrews: \nSeaweed: to farm or not to farm? \nThere is growing interest in the sustainable use of seaweed or seaweed products for use in food\, skincare or other health industries. Much of the industry in Scotland is based around wild harvest of seaweeds from intertidal habitats. However\, there is growing interest in the development of nearshore seaweed farms to boost this industry. \nWild harvesting or seaweed farms are viewed as sustainable practices which utilise what is considered to be an abundant ocean resource. This discussion session will examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \nJoin us as we examine some of the benefits and potential impacts of this industry and what can be done to make sure this practice remains sustainable. \n*Register Here!*

Many factors contribute to this imbalance which hinders the progress of positive initiatives\, causing a delay in their implementation. As new realities unfurl around us at an unprecendented rate\, our responses appear to lag behind. Join us as we explore the challenges posed by this pace paradox in a fast-moving world and the potential solutions to bridge the gap between intention and implementation.
