-The last [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop in 2015, held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November. Louisa Hooper compared it to standing at the seashore at low tide, with rocks and mud emerging from under water, when we can begin to see the peaks, as well as what lies beneath. One of the biggest challenges for this workshop and the year ahead is how work more effectively with the resources available. The importance of keeping the big picture visible was emphasised, alongside the practicalities of projects, activities and campaigns. +The last [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop in 2015, held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November.

 In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**. Beginning with a reflection on //Marine CoLAB so far//, looking at what has worked and what needs more work. Grounded in this experience they moved into a visioning process lead by Giles to clarify the Marine CoLAB //vision and mission//. At the end of the morning Sue took the group through a beautiful presentation and discussion of a //values based approach//, as a lens that can be used to shape and evaluate projects, experiments and the initiative itself. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to the **Marine CoLAB project incubator**, beginning with a broad //mapping of existing and emerging projects// by participating organisations which could be relevant to Marine CoLAB facilitated by Aniol. Two following sessions discussed the projects that emerged from previous workshops: possible directions for //GameOn// guided by Sandy and a working/planning session for the //Plastic Bottles project// lead by Heather. The day ended with a session about the future of **Marine CoLAB in 2016**. In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**.

 There is a need to find a language all Marine CoLAB participants understand, paying attention to jargon. There is a difference between the term "values" and "value", both are part of one whole, but can be understood quite differently. Sue’s presentation focused on values that connect people and places. What is important in a place? Values are developed through experience and interaction, and form the heartfelt connections between the people and a place, adding to human wellbeing. From these connections "cultural ecosystem services" beyond monetary value can be developed. They include a wider context, create whole ecosystems of interconnected disciplines (e.g. conservation, economy, mythology, wellbeing…) and incorporate different ways of talking and telling stories about a place.  They deliver benefits to human wellbeing and are connected to other ecosystem services. There is a need to find a language all Marine CoLAB participants understand, paying attention to jargon.

-In order to uncover deeper values, we need to start with basic connectedness (of people and places, different disciplines, different people. This can form a glue, a common basis and shared understanding. +In order to uncover deeper values, we need to start with basic connectedness (of people and places, different disciplines...).
