Summary
from a stakeholder workshop on Illegal Unreported
and Undocumented fishing in the region. Based on the
substantial body of research from the programme that
demonstrates the importance of rewilding tropical islands
in the Indian Ocean, we have been building collaborations
to share our expertise and initiate the practical
implementation of this priority conservation action.
Our focus on science communication has seen us
continue the quarterly webinar series which attracts a
global audience and covers a wide range of topics. Ocean
Matters, our successful marine science podcast, won the
‘People’s Voice’ podcast award in the environment and
sustainability category of The Webby Awards. For the
first time, we delivered a successful training workshop
for 15 environmental journalists from the Indian Ocean
region in the Maldives, increasing media coverage and
capacity for ocean stories in the region. Scientists across
the programme gained considerable media coverage for
their papers and delivered a wealth of conference posters
and presentations.
