If we are to sustain ourselves and our planet we need solutions that are science-based, and provide lasting benefit to environment, community, and return on investments. Nature is our strongest ally. But our environment, especially our oceans were in trouble even before climate-change added to the stress. Humans from all walks of life are experiencing the severe consequences. I am hopeful and positive and I focus on practical solutions that align interests across private, public and community sectors and especially solutions that are innovative, replicable and regenerate nature’s ecosystem services. I believe that by breaking down traditional barriers, including how we do science, and by thinking for the now and the future, we can create a more harmonious planet where people thrive. That is my mission and the mission of my company Deborah Brosnan & Associates. Company Offices in Washington D.C., Antigua and Barbuda, St Barthelemy
