Sea Ranger Service
Our Sea Rangers work to research, protect and restore nature in our oceans, working closely with gove

⚓ Maritime work can feel hard to reach: specialised, exclusive and often closed off to young people without the right connections or experience.
TIME recognised how the Sea Ranger Service is helping change that.
The article describes Sea Ranger jobs as value-driven, adventurous, hands-on and gender-conscious.
For us, this milestone is about more than recognition. It is about showing that young people do have a place in the maritime field and that ocean conservation can create meaningful careers.

👏 We are incredibly proud to share that the Sea Ranger Service has been featured in TIME.
The article highlights how our work is creating purpose-driven jobs for young people while helping protect and restore our oceans. As our Founder, CEO Wietse van der Werf says in the piece: “The Sea Ranger Service doesn’t just offer jobs. We offer purpose.”
As TIME writes: “Sea Rangers offer a Swiss Army knife’s dexterity, pursuing government contracts across the European Union and United Kingdom to tackle the tedium of climate compliance and the drudgery of clearing those backlogs.”
Being recognised on such a global platform is a huge achievement for our Sea Rangers, our team and everyone who has supported this mission from the beginning.
“To be part of something that is now being recognised by TIME feels amazing,” says Phaedra van Kerrebrouck, Sea Ranger. “We are out there doing the practical work, learning by doing and seeing first-hand how much effort goes into restoring marine ecosystems. It makes me proud to know that our work can help raise awareness about ocean conservation and show young people that there is a place for them in the maritime field.”

🎥 Sea Ranger Naomi Roesner shares openly about the reality of trying to find work, the pressure of repeated rejection and the determination it takes to keep going.
As Naomi says, “every ‘no’ gets you closer to a ‘yes’ but faith does not pay rent and perseverance does not pay the bills.”
Her story reflects a challenge many young people face. They are motivated, capable and ready to work, but too often the pathway into meaningful careers feels unclear or out of reach.
That is why practical opportunities matter. With the Celtic Sea set to become an important space for offshore developments, there is a chance to create routes into work that are accessible, purposeful and connected to the future of the maritime sector.
