Where ocean knowledge enters public debate
Policy documents
Effective and influential policy documents depend on the careful recognition of knowledge held by people whose lives and work remain closely linked to the sea. This knowledge includes practical experience, ecological observation, and cultural understanding developed through long-term engagement with marine environments. When these perspectives enter policy processes, decision-making gains depth, relevance, and social legitimacy.
This approach supports inclusive and representative governance and improves how complex ocean challenges are understood. It also strengthens fairness in the management of marine resources and affirms that ocean-based knowledge holds political value alongside scientific and technical expertise.
Data Analysis
The Think Tank applies advanced analytical tools to examine large and complex datasets and to identify the roles that women and other underrepresented actors play in ocean conservation. This research produces evidence that informs policy debates and supports the development of measures aimed at healthier and more sustainable marine environments.
Its findings also respond to urgent environmental challenges and contribute to the resolution of diplomatic tensions linked to marine resources. Through this work, the Think Tank connects data analysis with public and political relevance and strengthens the place of gender-aware perspectives in ocean governance.
Consulting
Our team of specialists produces and disseminates publications that support the integration of gender perspectives into ocean-related initiatives. Through reports, policy briefs, and analytical outputs, the Think Tank develops tailored knowledge designed to inform inclusive and sustainable approaches to marine governance and environmental action. Its work ensures that diverse perspectives are visible in written outputs that circulate across policy, academic, and public arenas. These publications aim to influence how ocean projects are designed and evaluated, and to strengthen the role of gender-sensitive knowledge in shaping debates on ocean futures.
Education
The Think Tank organises workshops and training programmes that prepare new generations of researchers and activists to engage with questions of gender, power, and representation in marine science and ocean governance. These activities address the political and environmental challenges facing the ocean and highlight the need for perspectives that remain underrepresented in scientific and policy arenas.
This work treats education as a form of intervention in public and political debate. It equips participants with analytical tools, critical language, and practical skills that support more inclusive approaches to marine conservation and environmental diplomacy. Through these efforts, the Think Tank contributes to the formation of future leaders who can challenge dominant assumptions and promote more just and effective ways of caring for the ocean.
