+  * (cross reference with Sandy's notes)
+  * ideas that have surfaced / developed
+    * challenge; how/when to engage the pubic to change rules / process
+    * concluded that the first experiment was not so game focused, perhaps more suitable as a training tool
+    * perhaps better to focus on more general 'ocean awareness'
+    * two main options
+      * "we're close to a tipping point on ocean experience games, imagery is swamped in action games"
+      * influence exiting game devs or filmmakers / ocean 'consultants' / best practice guide
+    * current strands
+      * coached lab space to develop game(s) and/or app(s)
+      * develop add ons to existing games
+      * develop games as tie ins to other games/films/etc
+        * BBC docos, google ocean, natgeo, etc
+      * mainstream marine conservation game (cf. beyond (..?) rising tide - maxis?)
+    * games can also be used as fund-raising vehicles
+    * simple experiments to test ides -> scale
+    * possible direction
+       -> sim city like versions of initial scenarios (workshop 1)
+  * three existing options for progress / requiring feedback
+    * small lab games (c.f fish hackathon)
+      * advantage; existing format, easier to test assumptions with small games, process based learning
+      * disadvantage; does a game actually 'work' as a way to develop connections to the oceans?, hackathon outcomes can be lacklustre. potentially limited impact.
+    * full on game
+      * advantage; AR tech becoming cheaper & easier to create, existing research from BBC on AR in education, potentially wide audience, amplification.
+      * disadvantage; high expectations, cost of development, educational games are usually boring, competitive
+      * questions; target audience? SIM-MPA?
+    * marine game/film leadership
+      * advantage; might be scope for a 'think tank' with more general (less issue/agenda based) consulting,
+         good time for BBC Oceans, influence through others. how to maintain contact with influencers
+      * disadvantage; 'Nemo effect' (clown fish), Disney often difficult to work with, span of control is extended, possible dilution.
+  * ZSL project, virtual Chagos, funding during 2016. British, controversial, inaccessible.
+  * interest
+    * giles, testing assumptions, experiments
+    * heather, perhaps as a masters project for students {Exeter uni, Chagos project)
+    * mirella, perhaps more preliminary research to see which option is most promising
+    * MSC, existing contacts (octonauts) potential test audience.
+  * next steps;
+    * potential research questions, masters topics.
+    * sandy, sue & heather draft a few paragraphs re. research scope etc. "next week"
