MRUG

Mediterranean Reference User Group (MRUG)

The MRUG is a MedSeA advisory body composed of key MedSeA scientists, key marine and coastal managers, conservation practitioners, industry representatives, science policy advisors and policy makers, and other stakeholders and end-users, mainly from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The MRUG ensures dissemination both, of the issues covered by MedSeA scientists to the stakeholders organisations, and of the ocean acidification-related policy and societal issues important to those stakeholders and end-users. Additionally, the MRUG will assure the quality of the dissemination methods used by the MedSeA scientists.

The MRUG aims to:
  • Advise on the types of data and analyses and products that will be most useful to managers, policy advisers, decision makers, and politicians,
  • Advise on the format and nature of key messages arising from the research,
  • Advise on the dissemination procedures to ensure that the results from the research are disseminated to all potential end users, and
  • Transmit key science developments into their own sector and parent organisation.
