“The ocean space is getting more and more crowded, and we are pushing the boundaries of human influences and extractive activities further and further. We need to learn how to manage our use of the ocean sensibly, while simultaneously recognising that our lives depend on healthy ocean ecosystems” says Prof Lombard. Young professionals need to be equipped to deal with the science, policy and socio-economic aspects of managing ocean use, and for this trans-disciplinary research needs to take place.
The ocean is the most fantastic place to work – about 90% of it is unexplored and 90% of its species not yet described.
