 About the project

Jersey’s waters, with their kelp forests, seagrass and maerl beds, showcase some of the best shallow marine habitats in northern Europe and many are important ‘blue carbon’ stores. Of Jersey’s 2,455 square kilometres of territorial sea, 6.5 per cent is designated as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), where mobile fishing gear (trawling and dredging) is prohibited, but other fishing (pots, hook and line, diving and static nets) is allowed.

Since 2018, Blue Marine has undertaken research alongside partners on-island and UK academic institutions to assess the benefits of Jersey’s existing MPAs.  This evidence underpinned our proposal for a well-managed network of MPAs closed to mobile fishing gear, to cover over 30 per cent of Jersey’s territorial waters, our overarching project goal.

In October 2023, the Jersey Government released its first draft Marine Spatial Plan, to fulfil its international obligations, under the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which requires 30 per cent of the environment to be protected by 2030. The MSP includes proposals for a network of MPAs covering 23 per cent of Jersey’s waters with the intention of increasing protection to 30 per cent of Jersey’s marine space by 2030. With Jersey’s MSP approved, there is now the prospect of securing tangible marine protection

The Jersey Project aims to enhance marine protection through three key interventions:

• Research: a four-year PhD, multiple MSc studies and collaborative research has built a strong evidence base for marine protection.
• Supporting low-impact fisheries: our initiative, Jersey Hand Dived was developed to improve community awareness of sustainable seafood choices and low-impact fishing practices.
• Education and engagement: our snorkel trail education programmed provides the opportunity for 420 children to be guided through an immersive snorkelling experience every year.

General Duties:

• The Project Officer will work with the Channel Islands Project Manager, wider Blue Marine team and collaborators on Jersey (and other Channel Islands) to deliver local workstreams which benefit people, nature and climate.
