| The workshop began with Louisa’s summary of her phone conversations with the participants. She quoted Mirella: "I enjoy going for a long walk, but i also like to know there is a cream tea at the end of it." The 'cream tea' might be different for each of the individuals For the Foundation the Marine CoLAB group needs to define what the 'cream tea' is themselves. The outcomces could be single large initiative (a big idea to transform the future), or several smaller collaborations and partnerships. Defining the boundaries and scope of the collaborations likely going to be needed. Furthermore, the process itself is an element of the 'cream tea' as well: it’s important to provide a safe space to think and to test the thinking. | The workshop began with Louisa’s summary of her phone conversations with the participants.

| Nicola Frost at Fauna and Flora International works site-based safeguarding marine protected areas & sustainable fisheries, interested in embedding site-specific work in the wider context of systems thinking. They are operational in 18 countries and work on access, finance, adaptive reflection, incentives for behavioural change. They work on 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 impact of national and international challenges and their impact on the relationship between people and biodiversity. They’re interested in innovative approaches to 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. | Nicola Frost at Fauna and Flora International works site-based safeguarding marine protected areas & sustainable fisheries, interested in embedding site-specific work in the wider context of systems thinking.

| 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 of the long term change & short term engagement ('daily corrections') to drive change, which both involve a range of different strategies, from changing policy to finding new narratives, capacity building, etc. NEF’s key role is speaking the economic language. For example, the common fisheries policy includes economic models for sustainability, trade-offs, jobs, CO2e, profit, etc. They look at the macro-economic structures to 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 to 'right directions'. | Aniol Esteban of the New Economics Foundation is interested in the fundamental change of economic systems that is required to deliver sustainability & social justice.

| Sandy Luk at Client Earth focuses on rules, which include laws, but also spoken and unspoken habits, conventions, codes of conduct etc. that defend the right of people and wildlife to a healthy life. They ensure that good rules are in place and that they 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 the 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). | Sandy Luk at Client Earth focuses on rules, which include laws, but also spoken and unspoken habits, conventions, codes of conduct etc. that defend the right of people and wildlife to a healthy life.
