We are SEA++

Sustainable oceans, sustainable planet.

About Us

Working together for sustainable oceans.

SEA++ is a network of highly qualified professionals from a range of disciplines working in marine and related sciences. Experience spans the oceans and seas of the world and covers disciplines such as stock assessment, population dynamics, ecology, economics, data analytics, communication, risk, engineering and environmental policy.

A major motivation of members of the network is the sustainable use of marine living resources and the protection of the world’s oceans. To achieve these goals members are used to both building up, and working within, interdisciplinary teams to find innovative solutions to local as well as global problems.

Our expertise includes:

  • Fisheries management frameworks
  • Elicitation and survey methods
  • Data science
  • Modelling and model validation
  • Risk assessment
  • Decision support tools
  • Communication of the scientific advice with an emphasis on graphic design and interactive web applications
  • Analysis of social contexts, narratives and ethical considerations
