 ==== Organisational introductions ====
-Mirella von Lindenfels works at IPSO (International Programme on the State of the Ocean) on strategy for negotiations, international diplomacy, regulation at international level, looking at deep sea mining, IUU regulations, chemical pollution & plastics in the oceans, etc. She is starting a new project which includes a large oceans communications campaign for the general public, using different target audiences and various ways to explain value of the oceans. The challenge is to balance economic,  moral and ethical dimensions, which Marine CoLAB might help integrating.

-Giles Bristow’s has at least three directions in his work at the Forum for the Future that could be relevant to Marine CoLAB. He is looking at how to reconceptualise supply chains as value chains or more non-linear value networks "[[http://www.forumforthefuture.org/valuenetworks|Sustainable value networks]]". This could provide be a lens to look at areas that can be changed, more helpful than an isolated finacial description. The second project is the "[[http://scalingupimpact.forumforthefuture.or|Scaling Impact Framework]]", which presents building blocks that tend to be outside of control of innovators. Thirdly, he is working with the shipping sector to ask 'what does a sustainable shipping industry look like?' this includes technology and finance, such as the fund for North Sea.

-Nicola Frost at Fauna and Flora International works on site-based safeguarding of marine protected areas & sustainable fisheries, with an interest in embedding site-specific work into a wider context (using a systems thinking approach). FFI are operational in 18 countries and work on access, finance, adaptive reflection and incentives for behavioural change. Their work includes community engagement and empowering local stakeholders through capacity building. Although their scale is quite local, they have an understanding of wider issues and look at how national and international challenges might impact the relationship between people and biodiversity. They’re interested in innovative approaches to the governance of marine protected areas, such as co-management in order to incentivise people and change perceptions. Their current focus is on fisheries, pollution, oil & gas. They believe in a constructive engagement with business, including impact investing, improving fishing practice, public/private funding models.

-Aniol Esteban of the New Economics Foundation is interested in the fundamental change of economic systems that is required to deliver sustainability & social justice. His work is a balancing act between long term change & short term engagement ('daily corrections') to drive change, which involves a range of different strategies, from changing policy to finding new narratives, capacity building, etc. One of NEF’s key roles is speaking the language of economics. For example, working with economic models of the Common Fisheries Policy to understand sustainability, trade-offs, jobs, CO2e, profit, etc. They look at macro-economic structures that strengthen the economic capacity of marine conservation. A few examples are the 'Marine Socio-Economics Project' (http://www.mseproject.net), 'The blue new deal' restarting marine conservation conversation - prosperity of coastal communities and the EMFF, directing fisheries fund into the 'right directions'.

-Sandy Luk at Client Earth focuses on rules, which include laws, but also include spoken and unspoken habits, conventions, codes of conduct etc. They defend the right of people and wildlife to a healthy life. They ensure that good rules are in place and that the rules are clear enough so people can can stick to them. If no good rules exist, they work on reforming them. For example, in the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)they work to ensure that the wildlife rules (protected areas) are applied to fisheries (i.e. no exemption for fishing). If good rules exist they ensure their proper implementation. If the rules are broken, they can proceed to legal enforcement through the courts. They are also interested in finding gaps in rule systems and working on voluntary codes of conduct (e.g. sustainable seafood coalition (SSC) working with supply chain codes and labelling codes (defined terms and standards).

-Andrew Farmer of the Institute for European Environmental Policy works on policy analysis of European environmental laws. They work with diverse organisations with an EU focus. They look at rules, gaps, implementation and implementation failures. Considering the complexity of EU regulation, they work on better structuring and formulation of EU environmental law. In the marine field, they work on TEEB analysis for policy makers and analysis of coastal zones. Their work includes training and economics. Andrew works on  waste legislation, that has large gaps for marine litter. The gaps are related to 'historical legacy problems (e.g. the Baltic sea), whose effects on the policy need to be better understood and integrated in decision making. Recently they have been involved in the 'Greener Britain' UK environmental policy manifesto (see http://www.ieep.eu/assets/1417/Greener_Britain.pdf), but they usually work more behind the scenes.

-Heather Koldewey heads the conservation programme at the Zoological Society of London. Her work is science based, with both an academic focus and work related to their two zoos. Their marine work focuses on protecting ocean wilderness, solving challenges at the interface of poverty & marine biodiversity, and species conservation (e.g. 'flagship species' such as seahorses). Their primary method is collaboration and finding new partnerships (beyond comfort zones and usual suspects). They focus on solutions to counteract the dominance of doom-and-gloom in marine conservation. See [[https://twitter.com/search?q=%20%23oceanoptimism|#oceanoptimism]]. There are many solutions out there, the question is how to find, replicate and scale what works. She focuses on connecting communities instead of re-inventing the wheel. Current projects include a collaboration with Selfridges, and a project with the manufacturer Interface to recycle fishing nets into carpets.

-Amy Pryor works at the Themes Estuary Partnership, a neutral, non lobbying, non advocacy organisation. They are the secretariat for [[http://www.coastalpartnershipsnetwork.org.uk|Coastal Partnerships Network]], their work is hosted by the UCL Vice-Provost for research. This gives them the ability to convene multidisciplinary projects in areas of social justice, marine biology and engineering. Their geographic region extends from the tower bridge to the north sea (possibly up to Chelsea in the future). They are starting to move to EU level (c.f. water framework directive) and work with national frameworks such as the 'catchment based approach' which proves problematic around London (terms of reference). They are involved with  [[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thames-estuary-2100-te2100|Thames Estuary 2100]] (TE2100), looking at flood defences to protect London over the next 100 years (including new wetlands) not just for humans but for all species. They work to engage social communities through projects and partnerships, looking at bottom-up co-management, small scale interventions and societal change through apprenticeships and curriculum of the 'River Academy' (transferable skills learnt from env. projects).

 Feedback from 'stakeholders':
-  * [[plastic_pollution_experiment#plastic_pollution_pre-enactment|On Plastic Pollution]]
+  * __On Plastic Pollution__: look at economic arguments, check if the issue and approach are too 'niche' and examine how to achieve larger systems change; many questions require clearer answers; the format of the public event should take into account the stakeholders; learn to listen better and pay attention to group dynamics... [[plastic_pollution_experiment#plastic_pollution_pre-enactment|more feedback]]
-  * [[http://lib.fo.am/marine_colab/transparency_experiment#pre-enactmentfeedback|On Transparency of Marine Industries]]
+  * __On Transparency of Marine Industries__: work on clarifying the messages, look at feasibility, capacity, possible conflicts of interest and sensitivity of information, listen to the needs of your stakeholders... [[transparency_experiment#pre-enactment|more feedback]]
