Three causal maps will be presented in the following order: 1) Local, 2) National, and 3) Regional. The aim is to discuss the causal maps and conceptual strawman governance structures at different geographic levels.

The approach involves presenting each causal map and associated strawman governance structure on an interactive whiteboard. Attendees will collaborate and refine causal relationships, identify priorities, and explore opportunities and threats.

Key questions: 

  • Feedback on causal maps 
  • Feedback on whether strawman governance structures address the casual maps observations

Plenary Discussion: Insights, Action Points and Closing Remarks and Next Steps

Facilitators: Workshop leaders present group findings. 

Key Outcomes: 

  • Shared themes and unique challenges in passive and active restoration governance. 
  • Highlight successful strategies identified in causal loop diagrams. 
  • Discuss actionable recommendations for improving governance in both restoration approaches 

Closing Remarks and Next Steps 

  • Summarize key insights from the webinar. 
  • Outline next steps, including sharing a synthesis report with participants. 
  • Provide details of upcoming BlueMission events or initiatives.
