Dr Jean-Luc Solandt
Jean-Luc has a background in marine biology and is fascinated by the interactions of marine species and habitats. After training in the UK, Australia and Jamaica, he has worked with scientists, policymakers and regulators to deliver well-managed Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) throughout Britain and the EU. He is a visiting research fellow at the University of Plymouth, providing knowledge at the policy/science interface. Jean-Luc has an established background in providing technical and policy advice on all matters related to the UK and overseas MPAs, including designations.
Jean-Luc will give us a talk on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), he will explain the background on how MPAs came to be created and what they do. In recent years, MPAs have had some great successes and challenges so Jean-Luc will tell us about some specific examples of MPAs like Plymouth Sound. Jean-Luc will also tell us about future plans for MPAs and how the public can participate in protecting our oceans.
