DiadESland: the serious game of the DiadES project
January 13, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Free
Westcountry Rivers Trust representatives will be attending this interactive session aimed at sparking ideas on how to conserve diadromous fish populations, come along and play!
DiadES is aimed at assessing and enhancing the ecosystem services (benefits to humans) provided by diadromous fish species (those that migrate from salt to fresh water) and develop policy recommendations in a climate change context. The project relies on an interdisciplinary partnership from five countries (i.e. Ireland, U.K., France, Spain and Portugal).
One of the main outputs of the project is a serious game called “DiadESland”. This innovative tool is a learning experience and helps foster discussions on managing diadromous species on the long term and large scale, including the effect of global change on the fish populations. You do not need to be an expert to play, this game is aimed at all policy or decision makers, environmental, fishers or sellers, and conservation type stakeholders.
Through playing the DiadESland game, the goal is to ignite open discussions about the management of diadromous species taking account dependencies between territories and the long term effects of climate change. This is an opportunity to discuss emerging possible strategies and management recommendations with likeminded colleagues. This is a dynamic and fun environment to discuss serious issues around a table. It is also an opportunity to learn new skills, particularly in the serious game approach. It will also be an excellent networking opportunity with your wider colleagues and stakeholders.
The University of Plymouth, The Rivers Trust and Cefas would like to invite you to meet to play DiadESland in Plymouth, U.K. on Friday 13th January 2023. This will be a fully catered event and the University of Plymouth are delighted to be able to cover your accommodation and travel expenses.
