# Stuart J. Green

> Ocean strategist and Operating Model Advisor to boards and CEOs navigating irreversible change. Anti-Resilience Strategist. Author of The Regenerate Leap. Founder of Blue-Green Advisors. Applies three decades of marine systems science — fisheries governance, blue finance and coastal strategy for ADB, the World Bank and the UK Blue Planet Fund — to organisations where the previous model is structurally obsolete and there is no prior state worth restoring.

Core position: Resilience is a trap. Regeneration is a strategy. Resilience aims to restore a prior state and optimises for stability. Regeneration assumes the prior state is gone and redesigns the system for the conditions that now hold.
