Four Stanford students describe a recent action lab in three words. 🎥 ⤵️ During winter and spring quarters, student groups researched opportunities to incorporate fisheries and aquaculture, or blue foods, into Indonesia’s national development strategy. As the world's largest archipelagic country with the most marine biodiversity on the planet, Indonesia depends on ocean and inland waters to support its food security and economy, as well as the livelihoods of Indonesians. The Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions led the teaching and development of the interdisciplinary course, which was offered through the Stanford Law School and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. The Human and Planetary Health Initiative, co-hosted by the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health, and the Law School's Law and Policy Lab provided additional support.

Are you an early career scholar interested in seafood, climate resilience, and finance? Check out a new postdoc position based at the Stockholm Resilience Centre! This role will support a three-year project led by the Stockholm Resilience Centre in partnership with the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions and the Malin Pinsky Lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The purpose of the project is to better understand the financial risk to seafood businesses from climate impacts on marine fish populations. A new postdoctoral fellow based in Stockholm will lead the financial risk component of the project. Learn more ⬇️ ➡️ bit.ly/3TbKEd1
We're looking for postdocs to join three of our projects! One project focuses on emerging pests and pathogens, another on trauma's impact on sustainability transformations, and the third on climate risks in seafood production. Learn more and apply now: https://buff.ly/3yHe23F

Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions reposted this
I am grateful to conclude my time with the World Economic Forum's Blue Carbon Action Partnership by sharing this agenda blog. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of engaging in insightful discussions with dedicated colleagues and community partners about enhancing blue carbon initiatives to foster greater community leadership. In our latest blog, Mark Beeston, Frances Camille Rivera Oceanus Conservation, and I delve into how reframing the value of blue carbon ecosystems can provide vital support to coastal communities: https://lnkd.in/gg2TsJui Our collective efforts and collaborative approaches can transcend the valorisation of carbon only. "A rights-based approach to blue carbon project development integrates historical resource use, Indigenous rights, local perspectives and gender equity, while also recognising the full range of ecosystem services as core benefits. By embracing this approach, the blue carbon community can foster more equitable and sustainable conservation efforts."

André Hoffmann Fellow Josheena Naggea, Ph.D. and colleagues share how coastal wetlands, known as blue carbon ecosystems for their ability to sequester carbon, can support both climate mitigation efforts and the needs of local communities. "Such a holistic perspective will ensure blue carbon ecosystems are valued, not just for their carbon sequestration potential, but for their broader contributions to environmental resilience and community well-being," the co-authors write. For more ⤵️
Last Friday, we celebrated World Mangrove Day🌿 Mangroves, a type of blue carbon ecosystem, have recently gained attention due to their ability to absorb large amounts of carbon and provide benefits such as storm protection and coastal resilience. As interest in blue carbon grows, it's important to consider more than just the carbon sequestered. In this Agenda Blog, Josheena Naggea, Ph.D., Mark Beeston and Frances Camille Rivera explore why ensuring the rights and needs of local communities must be central to any blue carbon initiative aimed at mitigating climate change. By re-emphasising the value of co-benefits to core benefits, blue carbon initiatives can focus on a rights-based approach, integrating: 🏞 Historical resource use 🙌 Indigenous rights 💡 Local perspectives ⚖ Gender equity while recognising the wide range of needs satisfied by an ecosystem 🌊 such as food, income and protection.
