==== Gone Fishing (in the Thames) ====

(an experiment from the [[workshop_201503|March workshop]])

===Hypothesis / Challenge===

Changing perceptions of marine conservation (NGOs)

===Experiment design===

Thames Fishing Solutions, Experiment 1 to change perceptions of marine conservation (NGOs).\\ 
See also: [[charm offensive experiment]] and [[valuing what matters experiment]]

A case study to test changing perceptions of marine conservation is the North Thames FLAG development for sustainable fisheries. The experiment would include solutions driven discussions (workshops) looking at alternative economies and opportunities. The question is can we collectively gain agreement of [fishing trawlers?] to downsize and use sustainable fishing [gear?], by co-creating a new narrative to achieve sustainability? 

The experiment involves hosting workshops with fishermen and their communities to design alternative scenarios. Showing by doing, breaking down barriers. The workshop would be designed by Marine CoLAB, where everyone is invited to collate approaches, knowledge, evidence and case studies.
