 In the previous workshop an experiment was designed to explore public engagement with rules using a game. The hypothesis was that the public could be best engaged at various specific points of legislative process. This would be explored through a game where players would learn about the legislative process and the consequences of different decisions at particular times. The underlying theme was to help clarify people’s relationship to the ocean. In the game there could be progressing levels of engagement, from understanding the problem and then moving to solutions. Games asre seen as having a lot of potential, but it is a potentially difficult channel (kids growing up with games). Games which are seen as 'blatantly educational' are often problematic. Different types of games appeal to different ages and genders, so the challenge would be to create a game which rovides an engaging understanding about the big picture. The journey of the users of the game should extend well beyond the game itself and provide opportunities for changing mindsets in their daily life.   In the previous workshop an experiment was designed to explore public engagement with rules using a game.

-Several new topics for further [[experiments]] and/or feasability exercises were proposed, two of which were selected by the group.  +=== Emerging experiments ===
-  * [[plastic pollution experiment|Plastic Pollution]] +

-(to be continued...)+Several new topics for further [[experiments]] and/or feasibility studies were proposed, two of which were selected by the group. 
  
 +Two new experiments:
 +  * [[transparency experiment|Transparency of Marine Industries]] and blue divestment
 +  * [[plastic_pollution_experiment|Plastic pollution]] from a systems change perspective. 
 +    * A single-use plastic-free London
 +    * Business against litter / Action on oceans: sustainability is good for business
 +
 +Two experiments from the March workshop that continue to be developed:
 +  * (Online) [[game_on_experiment|Game On!]]
 +  * **FLAG: TEP & NEF collaboration** (related to [[gone_fishing_in_the_thames_experiment|Gone Fishing]] and [[charm_offensive_experiment|Charm Offensive]] experiments):
 +    * Workshops to influence fishermen to diversify from trawling to static gear (in the Thames), planned for June
 +    * Meet a marine conservationist / Meet a fisherman (getting marine NGO staff closer to fishermen’s reality and vice verse)
 +    * Other ideas: 'Blue Gym’, Co-management, local solutions/ 2 voices, Electric fishing
 +
 +
 +Further ideas for experiments:
 +  * Existing [[http://www.neweconomics.org/|NEF work]]: diverting public funds (ie EMFF) to right things; positive reallocation of capital to ocean S.D., New economic models (//unreadable//)
 +  * Making the marine economic case transparent (e.g. Blue Growth)
 +  * Proposed issues for tackling systems change: sea bed mining, aquaculture…
 +  * How to replicate solutions? For example [[http://www.1010uk.org/itshappening|"It’s happening"]]: "collecting signs of the shift to a low carbon world: find your favourite and shout it from the rooftops" #itshappening
 +  * The role of conservation champions/local leaders
 +  * Non-usual partners to motivate and demo solutions (e.g. livelihood diversification w/BD //unreadable//)
 +  * Changing the natural //unreadable// (on energy/oceans)

 +==== Pre-enactment ====
 +
 +In this pre-enactment (a role-playing exercise of a situation that could happen in the near future) the two experiment teams met their key stakeholders whom they wanted involved in the follow-up of their successful experiments. 
 +
 +<blockquote>Scenario: You have just concluded your successful Marine CoLAB experiment and have presented some of your findings at a prestigious public event.  After a long day of presentations, you are hosting a dinner for some people you'd like to involve in a new project. This project will take your experiment to the next level. You would like these people to be involved in the design of your initiative, but you may still have more questions than answers.  The dinner is held on a nearby island.  There is a 15 minute ferry ride during which you will have a chance to talk to your stakeholders, answer their questions and find potential partners, funders, or anything else you may need for your Marine CoLAB initiative to succeed.</blockquote>
