Oceans Agenda: Focusing action through multi-stakeholder engagement
Monday 26 April 2010 (16:00-17:00)
Rosemary De Vos (European Representative of the International SeaKeepers Society, Fort Lauderdale, and an Associate of J. Ottman Consulting, New York)
Summary: Ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to benefit from bio-diverse, vital oceans needs global attention now. An opportunity exists to begin bridging the gap between diverse constituencies, who are involved with the oceans for manifold reasons, to integrate shared objectives into stakeholder strategies and, in so doing, target protection efforts in a concerted way. The aim of the seminar is to start exploring that opportunity to develop a viable, realistic approach and, ultimately, one which is welcomed by constituencies as an enhancement to their progress rather than a burden.
Personal Biography: Rosemary is an independent consultant working on the corporate responsibility agenda while consciously focusing attention on how all forms of communication, including new media, are being used to promote environmental messages and influence behavioural change on a global scale.
With a particular concern for two distinct topics 1)stability of ocean environments and 2)long-term healthcare provision, Rosemary is keen to communicate key messages in their simplest form, to bridge the gap between the scientific community and private enterprise and to build further awareness across diverse constituencies.
