About David Jones
In a previous life David spent a thoroughly enjoyable 17 years in the Army and when he wasn’t either playing rugby or skiing, he served as a military engineer, diver, and bomb disposal officer.

His time in the military also included five years’ serving with the Queen’s Gurkha Engineers and he was also fortunate enough to have commanded the Army Diving School and a Bomb Disposal Squadron. His final post before deciding to retire early was as the senior staff officer in Sarajevo responsible for coordinating all bomb disposal and mine clearance operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

David was heavily involved in the production of the award-winning documentary film A Plastic Ocean and during the six years it took to produce the film he spent a lot of time travelling the world and speaking about the then relatively unknown issues of marine plastic pollution. Since then, he has undertaken a great deal of academic research and work about ocean plastic pollution and other marine conservation topics.

In 2014, David decided to establish his own conservation organisation, Just One Ocean, of which he is currently the CEO. The organisational mission focusses on utilising science, communication, and education to protect the ocean for future generations.

David is a sessional teaching fellow at the University of Portsmouth, has an PhD in Coastal and Marine Ecology, an MSc in Coastal and Marine Resource Management, speaks Nepali with a very British accent, and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
