- | 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 could exist.
