Urban Ocean - Board & Advisors
Join the Board of Urban Ocean – Shape the Future of Marine and Environmental Solutions
Do you have a passion for sustainability, innovation, and the marine environment? Urban Ocean is seeking forward-thinking and visionary board members who want to be part of a company dedicated to saving and revitalising our urban ocean areas. We harness nature’s own tools, by the use of mussel socks and seaweed cultivation, to improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and combat pollution. Now, we’re seeking your guidance and expertise to help us reach new heights!
💼 The position:
As a board member at Urban Ocean, you will be a part of our journey toward creating a more sustainable future for the oceans. You will have the opportunity to help shape the strategy of a company working towards environmental services, regenerative thinking, and innovative marine management.
This position offers you a chance to make your mark on efforts to secure the future of marine ecosystems while contributing to solutions with global significance. Your contributions will not only influence the direction of the company but also provide you with valuable experience and insights into the intersection of environmental, sustainability, and economic factors.
🌊 Urban Ocean’s Focus Areas:
-
Marine Restoration:
We are dedicated to restoring balance in urban marine areas through the use of low-trophic species such as mussels and seaweed. These natural solutions revitalise marine environments, reduce excess nutrients in the water, and ensure healthy, sustainable ecosystems. By focusing on rebuilding marine habitats, we give back to the oceans and promote their ability to renew themselves.
-
Biodiversity:
Our work is grounded in promoting biological diversity in the oceans. We are committed to creating optimal conditions for the growth and survival of a wide range of marine species. This diversity is essential for maintaining resilient and robust ecosystems that can withstand environmental challenges. Through our efforts, we ensure that future generations can enjoy a rich and varied marine environment.
-
Environmental Services:
Using techniques such as mussel sock implementation, seaweed cultivation, and DIY kits, Urban Ocean delivers environmental services that clean water, sequester carbon, and combat pollution. These initiatives are essential for maintaining healthy marine habitats and ensuring that our oceans continue to be a source of life and resources. We combine technology and nature-based solutions to achieve maximum impact in our environmental work.
👀 We are looking for:
-
Sustainable Innovation:
Do you have experience in developing and implementing sustainable solutions? Your expertise will be central to driving forward concrete initiatives in marine restoration. We need your insights and ideas to support the ongoing development of our projects and ensure their long-term success.
-
Experience in Environmental Organisations:
Do you have a background with an environmental-organisation? Your experience will provide us with valuable insights into how we can strengthen our environmental commitment and build effective collaborations with stakeholders who share our vision. We want to learn from your experiences and use them to enhance our processes and outcomes, and help us navigate policies and governmental decisions.
-
Strategic Thinking:
You see the big picture and can develop long-term strategies that balance economic stability and environmental sustainability. Your ability to think holistically will be crucial in navigating the challenges we face and ensuring that our initiatives have a lasting and positive impact.
-
Diverse Expertise:
Do you have experience in the maritime industry, environmental science, technology, or related fields? Your expertise is valuable to us, and we are looking for individuals who can bring diverse perspectives to elevate our work across all core areas. We believe in the value of diversity, both in the ecosystems we protect and in the teams we build.
-
Law:
Do you have competencies with aquaculture law and assist in navigating associated regulations? We are looking for someone to help us pivot our activities as an exception to aquaculture, and rather as an ocean restorative measure, backed up by law.
🚀 What you can expect:
-
Pioneering Work:
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of a company that focuses on sustainable environmental services. You will be involved in defining and driving forward solutions that have a real impact on the global environment.

You will collaborate with a skilled, forward-thinking team that specialises in low-trophic marine organisms, including seaweed and mussels, and shares your passion for sustainability and the environment. Together, we are committed to achieving tangible results.
