CoastWeb: Dive straight in! - A dip-in resource for engaging the public in marine issues.
Between January and March 2006 CoastNet held a number of public engagement workshops aimed at marine and coastal professionals. Over 150 people attended the 5 workshops held around the UK and represented 70 organisations . This booklet and its contents are based on the outcomes of those workshops and aims to provide a practical introductory dip-in resource guide on good communication when engaging the public on coastal and marine issues. It's aim is to help specifically those marine and coastal professionals who have a public engagement remit but whose main area of expertise is not in communication. The booklet is not exhaustive although it has captured the expertise and knowledge of all the people who took part. It contains useful tips, case studies and a huge body of online and paper resources.
