‘Valuing the Ocean’, an initiative of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, aims to help increase the capacity of the environmental sector to communicate the role of the ocean in human wellbeing, particularly through collaboration with others. The Foundation’s London branch has decided to take a laboratory approach with Marine CoLABoration, aiming to foster engagement and a shared, co-created vision.

More about the Gulbenkian Oceans Initiative

The workshops are designed to provide the space and resources for a small group of organisations to meet regularly over a two-year period to explore existing practice, identify and experiment with new. The Marine CoLABoration has a particular interest in looking at how better to bridge the gaps between innovative local practice and influence at national and EU levels, and how to convey the intrinsic as well as socio-economic value of the sea.
