Globally, Oceana has won more than 325 policy victories for marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent new hope for the world's ocean.

We fight for UK seas to get the protections they deserve through highly visible campaigns and detailed policy interventions to secure measurable changes to rebuild and maintain ocean abundance and health.

- Work closely with the Oceana HQ Science and Strategy team and other scientist colleagues in the Oceana network to gather insights, inspiration and knowledge.
- Coordinate relevant stakeholders to ensure internal scientific reviews are completed in line with campaign timelines.
- Build strong external relationships within the academic community and represent Oceana to ensure we advance our goals with a wide range of stakeholders, from the general public to politicians.
- Actively participate in key policy and research conferences and events to defend and advance Oceana campaign goals.
- Maintain subject matter expertise and identify areas for new research by following the current literature, attending relevant meetings, and communicating with peers in the field.
- Represent Oceana externally in relevant networks, with partners and in the media as needed.
- Conduct other policy and research tasks as agreed and required.
