Summary
The application of scientific research to marine
management and policy is another key objective
of the programme. We produced two reports
in 2022, one summarised the management and
policy relevance of our research to the Foreign
Commonwealth & Development Office and the
second provided recommendations arising 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.
