Summary:While the summaries presented within this report do not necessarily reflect the opinions of all participants in the workshop, participants did identify both challenges to meaningful engagement, as well as ways in which to improve processes.

The workshop was used to inform and validate the principles and lessons outlined in PAME's Meaningful Engagement of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Marine Activities (MEMA) project.
