About
Dr. Anna Posacka is an ocean scientist whose work sits at the intersection of strategic leadership, venture development, conservation, and policy. An international expert on plastic pollution, Anna has worked both upstream—driving change in policy, industry, and consumer systems—and downstream—measuring and monitoring environmental impacts to inform action. Anna partners with forward-looking companies and organizations to advance ocean health through expert guidance, strategic research, and science-based communication.
Focus areas
We live on a blue planet. The ocean is our life support system—producing half the oxygen we breathe, regulating the climate, and feeding millions of people. Yet it faces growing, unprecedented threats. The positive news is that, with the right strategies in business, policy, and investment, nature and people can thrive together.
While the ocean is the ultimate beneficiary of Anna’s work, the solutions often start on land. By transforming material use, shaping sustainable business practices, and developing innovative technologies, we can reduce pressure on marine systems by addressing their root causes.
Ocean-Positive Innovation
Anna supports the design, development, and evaluation of ocean-positive solutions—from circular materials to ocean technologies and programs. Anna’s work helps organizations move from concept to impact with ocean sustainability at the core.
Strategic Research & Evaluation
Using a systems lens, Anna provides policy-relevant research, impact assessments, and evidence-based strategies that help governments, NGOs, and businesses shape effective programs and frameworks for ocean protection and circularity.
Communication
Anna translates complex science into actionable, audience-specific messaging—through reports, media engagement, strategic storytelling, and advisory support—so that key insights lead to real-world change.
