IdeasLab: Securing Britain’s Seas

As a nation of islands, maritime security is of critical importance to the UK. It comprises a range of important issues, including fisheries management, the migration of people, the fight against narcotics and people trafficking, marine environmental protection, the protection of critical infrastructure and counterterrorism at sea. While the UK remains a major naval power, its management of maritime security is underdeveloped. It now also faces a series of new challenges due to the Brexit process.

This IdeasLab, supported by MMB, will draw on contributions from academics, policy makers and other maritime security stakeholders to facilitate expert discussion and dialogue on the challenges of ensuring UK maritime security.

The event is by invitation only but if you are interested in attending, please contact Tim Edmunds (Tim.Edmunds@bristol.ac.uk).
