About event
This year’s conference focuses on the balance between tensions, trade-offs, and the potential transformations required for the future of sustainable marine resource management and governance, thriving coastal livelihoods and healthy, biodiverse oceans. The conference takes place right in the middle of the Ocean decade (2020-2030) and MARE seizes the opportunity to reflect on where we currently stand using the ‘People and the Sea’ lens. Climate change and the increase(d) (of) activities are profoundly shaping the health and functioning of our seas and oceans and thus of our global wellbeing. Although our current understanding of the marine social-ecological system and the impacts of human uses grows, available space(s) decline(s), urging policy makers to make necessary trade-offs. Also insights, access, impacts and capabilities are unevenly distributed resulting in tensions across social, economic, and political dimensions. All of this asks for transformation, yet the kind of transformation is debated because we can’t agree on ‘the ocean we want’.

Marine Social Scientists we need you - how to craft social science advice so it makes a difference to policy?
Marta Ballesteros, Nathalie Steins, David Reid, Joan Azzam-Roussouliere, Jo Foden, Marloes Kraan
In this session we will do two things: 1) bring you up to speed on recent developments within ICES and the EU in integrating social science into applied marine science for management advice 2) inspire - especially early career scientists - to participate and highlight the exciting opportunities for ECSs within ICES. Why? Because we need you to help us shape and strengthen this field for the decades ahead! How? It will be an interactive session, so bring your running shoes. And we will end with free drinks for ECSs!
The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is an intergovernmental marine science organization, dedicated to bringing impartial, evidence-based evidence on the state and sustainable use of our seas and oceans. While ICES has historically been rooted in ecology and (fisheries) biology, it has in recent years expanded to include a wide range of disciplines – notably, the social sciences. Since 2024, the Human Dimension Steering Group has brought together various expert groups focused on the many intersections between ‘people and the sea’. Moreover, ICES is increasingly receiving advice requests from its clients, including the European Commission, that specifically address social and human dimensions of marine use. As attention for social impact is increasing, social scientists are developing methods, collecting data, and producing knowledge to answer these requests. This session will bring participants up to speed with these developments, and is a call to action for the social science community. We need many more people to help us and move this important work forward.

How can we experience the ocean beyond science? Flowing with the Tides invites participants into a guided movement meditation, embodying a droplet of water carried by the sea. Through sensory exploration and co-creation, we translate this experience into collective art, bridging marine science, intuition, and creativity. No prior experience needed, just an openness to flow. Facilitated by Amsterdam-based artists, Sara Kimura and Vera K.
