Partnership Working Opportunities

Partnership Working

As part of our annual horizon scanning we ask Solent Forum members to identify areas where they would like to undertake greater partnership working, this list is updated each September.  Work areas identified in 2023 are:

• Closer relationships with academic bodies to help undertake environmental research

• Landowners and farmers - support sustainable coastal management and habitat restoration

• Assessing the risk of restoration success

• Local authorities/Lead Local Flood Authorities becoming SuDS Approval Bodies, mechanisms, costs and implications.

• The Solent Seascape Project (SSP) aims to extend our "umbrella" to include MANY more Solent based organisations and businesses in our work.

• Recreational disturbance guidance

• There are a significant number of new and developing partnerships, so care needs to be taken to avoid duplication of efforts, etc.

• Working with the Channel Coastal Observatory

• Diversify and improve data and information access

• Ocean literacy – from schools to the general public

• Upskilling for marine science, engineering and technology careers

• Decarbonisation of the marine sector

• Water quality sensing technologies

• Developing a regional narrative around the foundational importance of marine science to the maritime industry
