-A [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop held at the London Zoo+A [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November 2015. This was the last workshop of the first year of [[start|Marine CoLAB]]. Louisa Hooper compared it to standing at the seashore at low tide, with rocks and mud emerging under water, so we can begin to see the peaks, as well as what underlies them. One of the biggest challenges for this workshop and the coming year is how to do less with game-changing effectiveness. It is important to look at the big picture as well as the practicalities of the months and year(s) to come.

 +In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**. Beginning with reflecting on //Marine CoLAB so far//: what worked and what needs more work. Grounded in this experience they moved into a visioning process lead by Giles to clarify the overall Marine CoLAB //vision and mission//. At the end of the morning Sue took the group through a beautiful presentation and discussion of the //values based approach//, as a lens that can be used to shape and evaluate projects, experiments and the initiative itself. In the afternoon, the focus was on **Marine CoLAB project incubator**, beginning with a broad //mapping of existing and emerging projects// by participating organisations which could be relevant to Marine CoLAB facilitated by Aniol. Two following sessions discussed the two projects that emerged from previous workshops: possible directions for //GameOn// guided by Sandy and a working/planning session for the //Plastic Bottles project// lead by Heather. The day ended with a session about the future of **Marine CoLAB in 2016**.

- +The morning began by distilling a few points from previous discussions on the future of Marine CoLAB which can be used as a starting point or a point of discussion about Marine CoLAB in 2016 and beyond. Marine CoLAB participants are keen to seize opportunities to re-frame challenges and refresh whole systems. They do this by being a part of trusted collaborations and networks. After a year of working together, the facilitators added that the participants are very keen to and good at designing and working on projects.

 At the very first workshop the participants designed a range of possible future scenarios for Marine CoLAB and the worlds in which it would exist. The different futures had two things in common: Marine CoLAB would be integrating values and innovation, as well as establishing and strengthening connections (between the ocean and society, between business and governments, bridging the gapes between local and global governance of oceans).  At the very first workshop the participants designed a range of possible future scenarios for Marine CoLAB and the worlds in which it would exist.

 Finally, before delving into the futures, mission, values and a range of experiments, projects and activities, it might be helpful to remind ourselves of the CGF’s goal for Marine CoLAB: **To communicate the role of the ocean for human wellbeing** (particularly connecting natural sciences and economy).  Finally, before delving into the futures, mission, values and a range of experiments, projects and activities, it might be helpful to remind ourselves of the CGF’s goal for Marine CoLAB: **To communicate the role of the ocean for human wellbeing** (particularly connecting natural sciences and economy).
