for moored buoys. KPIs to be represented by coloured dots and arrows with a link to send people to the details on the JCOMM website. The themes were discussed and it was agreed that the descriptions should to be streamlined, text of order 160 characters was requested – essentially 3 sentences. Revised layout: With the revised layout, the themes would need to be articulated with minimal text as they could now be located on just one side of the map, with the platform descriptions on the other.

Above the ‘outside’ of the card, below the ‘inside’/main foldout page featuring KPI table and key themes that the networks address. 42 Action Network chairs to provide a single indicator (status and for the report card, with an accompanying description of what this indicator represents.
