This online workshop and clinic will explore how you can effectively include citizens in your research programmes and why citizen engagement is crucial to Open Responsible Research and Innovation (ORRI).

This presentation provides an overview of marine data stewardship and introduces the MEDIN Framework as a foundation for best practice in marine data management. It outlines the principles of effective stewardship, the importance of standardisation, and how MEDIN supports the marine community in making data more discoverable, accessible, and reusable.

In this talk Dr Neil Banas will sketch how Tsing’s work on precarity and problems of scale might change our perspective on climate-driven declines in the food chain supporting UK wild salmon and seabirds, suggest new quantitative modelling approaches, and call our attention to possible refugia and modes of resilience.

Coran Halls, Oban The SSIA Conference 2025 brings together global experts to foster cooperation across the entire seaweed value chain - from sustainable harvesting to innovative applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed. This year's theme, "Cooperation and Collaboration," emphasizes the power of collaboration in addressing the challenges and opportunities in marine biomass utilisation.

Understanding wellbeing in the fishing industry requires a dynamic approach that captures the complex interplay of economic, social, and environmental factors. This research applies scenario-based modelling to explore how targeted changes influence system behaviour and to simulate responses under diverse conditions. Building on previous cognitive mapping work with Scottish nephrops fishers, the study applies participatory […]

Recognising the leading role the UK plays in the continent’s offshore energy transition, OCEaN has selected the United Kingdom (UK) for the fourth webinar in RGI and OCEaN's Country Profile Webinar Series. This webinar will explore the UK’s offshore wind targets and how their policy frameworks, planning strategies, and consenting approaches aim support offshore renewable […]

During this webinar, EMB will launch its Future Science Brief No 13, titled 'Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for marine Carbon Dioxide Removal'.
