With a background in marine biology and environmental studies, Ronnie developed a blue economy framework aligned with the SDGs to assess equity, sustainability, and viability in ocean industries. Her work spans international and national ocean science-policy landscapes, and she is committed to advancing inclusive, science-based action through the UN Ocean Decade.
