Marine Board Communications Panel

MBCPThe Marine Board Communications Panel (established in 2002) brings together professional science communicators from a number of Marine Board member organizations, to promote and discuss best practice in marine science communication across Europe.

Facilitated by the Marine Board Secretariat, the panel meets regularly to:

  • Exchange ideas on events, communication methods and best practice;
  • Organize dedicated sessions at marine science conferences;
  • Advise the Marine Board on communication and dissemination of its outputs.

The panel participates in conferences and events, to promote the importance of communication and ocean literacy. The MBCP supported the communication of EurOCEAN 2010 and 2007. The panel also organized sessions at events such as European Geosciences Union General Assembly EGU 2009, EuroScience Open Forum ESOF 2008 and a joint session on ocean litteracy at the ESOF 2012.
