Jacqueline Nightingale is a PhD researcher at the University of Southampton Law School. Her interdisciplinary work examines governance of the ocean commons to determine the alignment of climate science and social justice within the legal frameworks.
She is also a Policy Associate with Public Policy Southampton, undertaking project work with Greenprint and SARTRAC.
Jacqueline’s research in ocean governance considers how effectively the latest climate science is incorporated into decision making around the ocean commons and what that means for social justice in the process. Her review examines the infrastructure that translates science into policy and action for marine areas beyond national jurisdiction.
This work is funded by a Leverhulme Studentship for “Intelligent Oceans” through the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute.
