| - | | + | **Summary of discussion |
| - | There are also several transparency initiatives related to the marine environment; | + | While there is a growing number of initiatives |
| - | </ | + | * the information is not always exploited to drive change within the marine industry. |
| + | * the information collected is not relevant or in the right format to drive change. | ||
| + | * there are still information and data gaps that need to be filled. | ||
| - | </ | + | In this context, MarCoLab’s could make the following interventions: |
| - | * | + | * Maximise the potential of existing information (i.e. repackaging it in different ways). |
| + | * Provide input and guidance to some of these initiatives to ensure the information generated is in the right form to achieve a particular target. | ||
| + | * Identify key gaps and work to fill them. | ||
| - | Several use satellite technology | + | In order to make things more manageable we agreed to focus on two key sectors: |
| - | </font> | + | * Shipping |
| + | * Fisheries / Aquaculture (Sandy and Aniol) | ||
| - | </font> | + | We will structure our work in two phases: |
| + | * 1st phase (until 25th June) – Mapping | ||
| + | * What transparency related initiatives/projects are out there in the seafood-shipping sectors? | ||
| + | * 2nd phase (25th June – 5th July) – Brainstorming | ||
| + | * Taking into account the existing information available: | ||
| + | * What could we do with this data to maximise its potential for change? | ||
| + | * What guidance could we provide to these initiatives to make them more likely/ | ||
| + | * What additional information would be required? | ||
| + | * Answering the questions for phase 2nd will require defining the changes we want to see (i.e. phasing-out overfishing from the supply chain; improving worker’s conditions; etc.) and what is the intervention we want to make (i.e. synthesize data and make it available to investment analysts; | ||
