SUMMARY:Webinar: Recent developments in the sustainable management of marine resources
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present and explain cause-consequence-response frameworks and the way these relate to managing marine\, coastal and estuarine areas. It will then show the importance of determining the footprints of activities\, pressures\, and natural and human effects and assessing cumulative effects. Following this\, it will consider the footprints of management responses and will demonstrate horizontal management across sectors and vertical management from the local to the global and vice versa. It will look at the importance of transboundary implications of marine management\, considering connectivity\, coherence\, and equivalence. Finally\, it will consider the way in which success in marine management is measured\, including indicators of success. Examples from Europe and North America will be used\, but the topics are relevant to marine areas worldwide.

SUMMARY:Power relationships and aquaculture livelihoods in Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the different kinds of power relationships in Vietnam’s aquaculture industry that influence people’s access to resources\, livelihood options and sustainability outcomes. \nThis seminar looks at a case study of aquaculture production systems in northern Vietnam and the power relationships in food systems that lead to poverty\, poor health and ecological degradation. \nThe presenters will analyse power relationships between the national government\, local governments\, aquaculture farmers\, and workers on aquaculture farms\, and examine how they influence livelihood options\, economic vulnerability\, socio-economic and health risks\, and local environmental sustainability. \nThis seminar is organised by the Sustainable and Equitable Aquaculture (SEA) in Vietnam project and the Food Equity Centre. \n  \nSpeakers \n\nProfessor Dien Thi Nguyen\, Vietnam National University of Agriculture\, Hanoi\nDr. Khue Thi Minh Nguyen\, Vietnam National University of Agriculture\, Hanoi\nDr. Thi Minh Hanh Nguyen\, Vietnam National University of Agriculture\, Hanoi\nProfessor Vo Minh Vu\, Vietnam National University\, Hanoi\nDr. Ton Van Loi\, Vietnam National University\, Hanoi\n\n  \nChair \nAyako Ebata\, IDS Research Fellow \n  \nHow to watch \nYou can attend in person or register to watch online: https://www.ids.ac.uk/events/power-relationships-and-aquaculture-livelihoods-in-vietnam/. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar - launch of new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations
DESCRIPTION:The new Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations (JUST)\, funded by UK Research and Innovation’s Building a Green Future strategic theme and the Economic and Social Research Council\, are pleased to invite you to join their launch webinar. \n\nThe webinar will be held on Tuesday 15 July 2025\, 14.00-15.00 BST (UTC+1). Please see further information below. \n\nIf you would like to attend\, please register via Eventbrite here. \n\nJoining up for just outcomes: an agenda for research and action on sustainability transformations \nThe JUST Centre puts justice at the heart of sustainability transformations: the Centre’s ambition is to support a fair transition to net zero by transforming the processes and structures that leave many people and places out of the Low Carbon Living agenda. The Centre is accelerating research-informed action that engages\, enables and empowers marginalised people\, to develop methods\, tools and strategies for thinking and action on sustainability. By ‘marginalised’ we mean those facing socio-economic\, infrastructural\, geographical and political inequalities that inhibit their participation in climate mitigation and adaptation\, while also increasing their vulnerability to climate change impacts. ‘Joined-up’ means bridging the gaps between myriad\, but presently disconnected\, evidence bases\, interventions and policies focused on sustainability and net zero transitions. By connecting sustainability with justice\, research with action\, and constituent knowledge producers and community beneficiaries with one another\, JUST will advance the shared evidence base and accelerate the capacity for action towards sustainable futures for all places and communities. \nJoin us for a webinar featuring keynote remarks by Julian Agyeman\, an internationally-recognised leader in the transdisciplinary field of environmental social science who developed the concept of ‘just sustainabilities’ 25 years ago. This concept\, and the work it has inspired\, has been influential to the JUST Centre’s vision. \nA panel of three JUST Centre co-investigators\, Rebecca Willis\, Stefan Bouzarovski and Lucie Middlemiss will join Julian in conversation about the history of just sustainabilities research and how we can mobilise it in the current context to shape JUST Centre’s research agenda. Broad themes include challenges of engaged\, place-based research using mixed methods and challenges of democratic participation in the context of current political climates in the UK and beyond. \nThe webinar will be chaired by JUST’s Director Sherilyn MacGregor.

SUMMARY:FITF Talk - Balancing energy and food security in UK waters
DESCRIPTION:In this session we are sharing insights into how fishing organisations and associations are working with government and statutory bodies to plan and prioritise competing demands such as fishing and offshore wind in our coastal waters. \nManaging the space around the UK is a difficult job\, with a rising number of marine protected areas and renewable energy developments\, it feels like areas designated for fishing are reducing in size. FITF are joined by Mike Roach from the NFFO and a number of expert speakers discussing these topics\, along with existing case studies from Scotland and Southwest England\, the mapping of fishing activities and engagement with fishing communities. \n  \nWho’s Talking? \n\nNational Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations – Mike Roach\, the Deputy Chief Executive and a background in research and representing industry in fishing associations at a regional and national level\, including the Holderness Fishing Industry Group and the Shellfish Association of Great Britain.\n\n\nScottish Fishermen’s Federation – Elena Balestri\, Senior Fisheries Policy and Science Manager\, to discuss the indirect impacts of offshore wind on fisheries ecology and fishing communities.\n\n\nCornish Fisheries Producers Organisation – Chris Ranford\, CEO\, and David Stevens\, CFPO member\, and skipper of the Crystal Sea\, who have worked closely with The Crown Estate over developments in the Celtic Sea.\n\n\nRetired Fisherman\, Independent Consultant and Thanet Fisherman’s Association – Merlin Jackson has worked with fishing fleets to support engagement with developers\, and sits on the Fisheries Liaison Offshore Wind Working Group.\n\n\nPlymouth Marine Laboratory – Claire Szostek\, Senior Scientist. Recently Claire’s research has focussed on the social and ecological impacts of offshore wind on commercial fishermen.\n\n\nDefra – Edd Hind Ozan\, Head of Marine and Fisheries Social Science manages research projects working with the industry\, such as the mapping of socially and culturally significant fishing grounds.\nMarine Management Organisation – Rachel Brown\, Head of Marine Planning and Strategic Renewables Unit\nAnd more TBC!\n\n  \nWhat are FITF Talks: \nFITF Talks are focused on furthering knowledge and creating connections with people in the fishing industry. These informal conversations\, hosted by fishermen and industry people\, encourage participation within a fishermen-led space\, and invite experts on different topics to share knowledge and take your questions. Topics are suggested by industry\, and the focus is on learning and creating a dialogue between people who are passionate about the future of the industry.

SUMMARY:FITF Talks: Thoughts on a Floating Fishing School
DESCRIPTION:We will be joined by Andy Read\, former editor of Fishing News\, to host a discussion with fishermen\, fishing industry trainers\, organisers and naval architects on ideas around a dedicated fishing vessel for training and career development\, and how to make this happen. \nIt’s an ambitious idea\, but with the UK Government unveiling a £360 million Fishing and Coastal Growth Fund – it might be time to think big! Join us on to swap ideas\, hear case studies from places where training vessels operate\, and pitch in your thoughts on a dedicated fishing vessel for training and career development.
