This will be an information and consultation session about the format and content of further sessions and will include a roundtable meet & greet. You might prepare for it by:

• giving some thought to how our interests are best served as a group sharing the aim of better explaining our activities as researchers whose understandings of history have been shaped by the seas.

• ensuring that you have a functioning internet link through Webex using the Webex test meeting.
