   * Us as individuals in CoLAB vs us as organisation; thinking about organisational/institutional buy-in and engagement; using more of the entire skillsets of organisations (e.g. corporate responsibility, 'creative' legal approaches, etc.; connecting beyond individuals to others in our organisations; additional collaborators to deliver projects (buy-in); would like to draw on expertise of colleagues
   * Understanding how to manage and maximise positive feedback into participating organisations
+=== What can we improve? ===
+Get better at knowing "who we are, where we go and how we do it".
+== Organisational buy-in ==
+  * Engage not just individuals, but whole organisations in Marine CoLAB. This could be accomplished by:
+    * Clarifying the strategic lines of work of Marine CoLAB (3 lines?)
+    * Offering value add (e.g. building effective collaborations)
+    * Try to find a common agenda that all organisations would be interested in
+  * If Marine CoLAB activities can fit into day-to-day agendas of existing work in the participating organisations, more time can be freed to work on them
+  * Think about the structure of the collaboration and how it could overlap with organisational missions, activities and strategies.
+== Sustainability ==
+  * innovation
+  * collaboration
+  * projects
+  * Core funding is likely to be needed for Marine CoLAB as a whole, as some of the organisations are only funded on a project basis, so do not have the capacity to offer people’s time. While it is important to get Marine CoLAB projects funded, the benefit of the collaboration needs the CoLAB as a whole funded as well.
+== Communication ==
+(within organisation, with stakeholders)
+  * Focus outwards
+  * Create a thought piece explaining something like "this is the benefit of 12 months of Marine CoLAB", using the plastics project and other key outcomes as milestones.
+Communicate how it affected ways of working, what effects it had on specific projects, potential long term value for oceans, etc.

+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 session 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.
+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.
   * developing a shared language based around values we can use to communicate within the group
