Thames Fishing Solutions, Experiment 1 to change perceptions of marine conservation (NGOs)

One case study to test changing perceptions of marine conservation is the North Thames FLAG development for sustainable fisheries. The experiment would include solutions driven discussions (workshops) looking at alternative economies and opportunities. The question is can we collectively gain agreement of [fishing trawlers?] to downsize and use sustainable fishing [gear?], by co-creating a new narrative to achieve sustainability?

The experiment involves hosting workshops with fishermen and their communities to design alternative scenarios. Showing by doing, breaking down barriers. The workshop would be designed by Marine CoLAB, where everyone is invited to collate approaches, knowledge, evidence and case studies.

Implementation:

  • Identifying a UK fishing community that has already done it
  • setup a workshop with fisheries and invite the above group
  • scenario workshopping outcomes for the whole community → they develop sceanrios (with facilitation advice from FoAM)
  • informed choice software to prepare the participants ahead of the workshop (multi-criteria analysis)
  • social networking to build trust
