Group Objectives
• To create a network of marine experts to advance marine natural capital and ecosystem service thinking, research and practical implementation in Scotland.
• To provide a platform for experts in technical advancement (particularly researchers in academic institutes) and policy development (e.g. Marine Scotland) to communicate and collaborate.
• To encourage representatives from projects/programmes with an interest in marine natural capital to share knowledge and best practice, encourage collaboration and identify knowledge gaps.
The group meets quarterly to share updates and guide activities towards objectives.
