We are thrilled to share the inspiring journey of the Sea Ranger Service, a social enterprise dedicated to safeguarding our oceans while tackling youth unemployment.   The Sea Ranger Service trains unemployed young people from coastal areas preparing them for roles in ocean management, conservation, and restoration.   The Sea Rangers Service initiated its first bootcamp in the Netherlands in 2018 and expanded into the UK earlier this year. This expansion was made possible with the support of #HLBaSE, which assisted by drafting employment contracts and advising on debt financing.   Read more about their journey and achievements here: https://shorturl.at/acJF7. #OceanManagement #Conservation #Restoration #YouthEmployment #ProBono Wietse Van Der Werf Fenella Chambers Tom Walsh Alexandra Damerau

All hands on deck: The social enterprise deploying young people to protect our seas. I was delighted to be featured in this fantastic article by Pioneers Post to speak about the blue economy and the incredible work of Sea Ranger Service and our legal partners at Hogan Lovells - HL BaSE. The Sea Ranger Service is an extraordinary organisation that not only provides maritime training, employment and coaching opportunities to young people in coastal areas, but is also helping to implement large-scale seagrass restoration through the The Seagrass Consortium (https://lnkd.in/dJtPqUDD). It has been a pleasure to work with Wietse Van Der Werf and the team, on both our own Blue Economy Accelerator Programme (https://lnkd.in/eEfQjAh8) and now also on the fantastic Nestlé Purina PetCare Europe Ocean Restoration Programme (https://lnkd.in/dzEb6J6R). Thank you to Carla Parks for the cover. #oceans #sdg14 #seagrass Wietse Van Der Werf Yasmin Waljee OBE Fenella Chambers Tom Walsh Lisa Boulton Jane Fiona Cumming Tom Mills Sangeeta L. Niall Simon O.
