<blockquote>The ocean sustains life on earth – the wellbeing and prosperity of us all – but faces immediate existential threats to its health and functioning. The public remains largely unaware of this and ocean protection is a pretty low priority on national and international agendas. The issues are multi-dimensional and no one sector can address them alone. Science, conservation, policy, art, business, all are playing a role, often in new, exciting and increasingly joined-up ways. | <blockquote>The ocean sustains life on earth – the wellbeing and prosperity of us all – but faces immediate existential threats to its health and functioning.

The Ocean Connects Us was designed to share and learn from each other about communicating the value of the ocean. After short framing speeches by [[https://gulbenkian.pt/en/the-foundation/our-team/board-of-trustees/martin-essayan-trustee-2010-2015/|Martin Essayan]] and [[https://www.zsl.org/users/heather-koldewey|Heather Koldewey]], the morning began with exchanging past experiences of [[the_ocean_connects_us#sense|valuing the ocean]], to then [[the_ocean_connects_us#observe|observe]] what is emerging from the participants’ current [[https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1920GDCo4WYSY9KOfUxwIlSpCzGM&ll=10.516256681185387%2C147.7559278499999&z=2|collaborations]]. During and after lunch the participants were invited to visit the [[http://www.trinitybuoywharf.com/whats-on/event/longplayer|Longplayer]] installation in the adjacent lighthouse and have spent time immersed in artworks by [[http://www.marieleneudecker.co.uk/|Mariele Neudecker]], [[http://www2.hull.ac.uk/fass/english/our-staff/clarke,-dr-john.aspx|John Wedgwood-Clarke]] and [[https://robmackay.net/|Rob Mackay]] (curated by [[http://invisibledust.com/|Invisible Dust]]). The afternoon was focused on investigating how to more [[the_ocean_connects_us#investigate|effectively communicate]] the value of the ocean, today and in the future. First by hearing from [[http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/staff-and-fellows.html#oneil|Moira O’Neil]] from the [[http://www.frameworksinstitute.org/|Frameworks Institute]] about their report [[https://gulbenkian.pt/uk-branch/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/03/Getting-Below-The-Surface.pdf|Getting Below The Surface]], then by [[the_ocean_connects_us#prototype|applying]] the institute's findings as recommendations to concrete projects. The conversation moved towards the future of the sea with a short speech by [[https://foresightprojects.blog.gov.uk/category/sea/|Henry Green]], as an introduction to the last participatory session. The participants distilled [[the_ocean_connects_us#enact|insights]] from the day as questions and principles towards a manifesto for an ocean friendly society.

What are some interesting examples of working together to communicate the value of the ocean, or more generally to improve the health of the ocean? Each participant described one example of current or realised work. The examples were discussed and visually mapped. | What are some interesting examples of working together to communicate the value of the ocean, or more generally to improve the health of the ocean?

* **Impact:** Innovation + scale. Optimising resources. Multiplier effects. Noise vs actual impact (understanding what true impact would be). Specificity of objectives and vision is important to align strategies, target the right audiences and improve measurability. What outcomes do we want? Save the ocean! A legislative change. Halt and reverse threats. Ocean is used and valued, A balance of different interests. More people care, feel empowered and take action. | * **Impact:** Innovation + scale. Optimising resources.
