Seas Of Opportunity: Navigating the Blue Economy / EP8: What does ocean restoration look like?

Dive into our podcast series, Seas Of Opportunity: Navigating the Blue Economy", a compelling collaboration between international law firm Simmons & Simmons, and the influential NGO Marine Conservation Society. This series brings together key ocean influencers to shed light on crucial issues surrounding our seas and their sustainable future. In Episode 8 of Seas of Opportunity, Dr Jean-Luc Solandt shared his insights on the practicalities of ocean restoration. Jean-Luc has dedicated over two decades to marine conservation, most recently as Marine Recovery Programme Manager at the Marine Conservation Society. He is a marine biologist and Marine Protected Area specialist with a lot of first-hand experience of being involved in marine restoration projects. We often talk about the need to scale-up finance for ocean restoration. This is a broad term and it may not always be clear exactly what it means. Jean-Luc joined the podcast to shed some light on this as we considered what ocean restoration looks like in reality, what the challenges are and how to it can be scaled up.
