- | The last [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop in 2015, held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November. Louisa Hooper compared it to standing at the seashore at low tide, with rocks and mud emerging from under water, when we can begin to see the peaks, as well as what lies beneath. One of the biggest challenges for this workshop and the year ahead is how work more effectively with the resources available. The importance of keeping the big picture visible was emphasised, alongside the practicalities of projects, activities and campaigns. | + | The last [[start|Marine CoLAB]] workshop in 2015, held at the London Zoo on the 25th of November.

In the morning the participants focused om **Marine CoLAB as a whole**. Beginning with a reflection on //Marine CoLAB so far//, looking at what has worked and what needs more work. Grounded in this experience they moved into a visioning process lead by Giles to clarify the Marine CoLAB //vision and mission//. At the end of the morning Sue took the group through a beautiful presentation and discussion of a //values based approach//, as a lens that can be used to shape and evaluate projects, experiments and the initiative itself.

- | 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. | + | 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.

At the very first workshop the participants designed a range of possible future scenarios for Marine CoLAB and the worlds in which it could 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, | At the very first workshop the participants designed a range of possible future scenarios for Marine CoLAB and the worlds in which it could exist.
