Working closely alongside Governmental agencies and NGOs with marine policy development obligations, I conduct on the ground cross-discipline synthesis work, to assess current policy framework and identify knowledge gaps, outdated regulations, and procedural drawbacks. From there I develop an action plan, designed to lay out a road map for the future, that will guide current marine policy in the direction needed to achieve over-arching national developmental goals. Worked into this plan are aspects such as conservation area planning (such as a site ranking analysis, and management plan development), marine spatial planning, and coastal zone development strategies. As with some of the other services I provide, this is an holistic approach, and draws upon many other areas that I specialise in.
