Marnix Poelman

Marnix Poelman is a researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in marine production systems and ecosystem services. His work focuses on integrating ecological principles into food production through projects like ULTFARMS and Marine resources in circular climate smart food systems. He actively contributes to research on mussel farming impacts, coastal salinization adaptation, and nature-based carbon removal strategies.

• Specializes in marine biomass utilization and sustainable aquaculture
• Active in climate change mitigation through ecological design
• Works on policy frameworks for marine ecosystem services

Recent publications analyze the Dutch North Sea's ecosystem components, salinization challenges for coastal agriculture, and carbon credit mechanisms for low-trophic aquaculture. His research emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration between marine biology, agricultural science, and climate policy. Poelman also engages in public outreach through media appearances discussing blue economy and marine food production.
