The General Assembly was also preceded by a 1-day capacity-building workshop on ocean governance, led by policy experts Ben Boteler, Matt Gianni and Luise von Pogrell, with contributions from David Johnson and Vikki Gunn. This session examined the current international and regional policy landscape for the Atlantic, and focused on ways to get iAtlantic’s key science messages across to stakeholders.
