1. Publicity online

A section dedicated to CoCoNet was created within the University of Malta website portal. This has been placed under the 'Research' section* of the Department of Biology's homepage and includes two sub-headings: 'Overview' and 'Media Reports'.

The 'Overview' sub-heading includes an article** entitled 'Towards COast to COast NETworks of marine protected areas (from the shore to the high and deep sea), coupled with sea-based wind energy potential (CoCoNet)'. This article also includes a link to the official CoCoNet website.

The 'Media Reports' sub-heading includes both local and official CoCoNet press releases listing activities in which the UoM team was involved.

2. Publicity in local newspapers

An article entitled 'From Local, to Regional, to Basin-wide Networks of Marine Protected Areas' was sent to English-language newspapers. This article was published on 15 November 2012 under the 'Research Initiatives' heading of the 'News on Campus', which is the University of Malta's official online newsletter. A copy of this article is given in Appendix A.

The same article was later published in 'The Malta Business Weekly' on 22 November 2012. A copy of this article as published in the newspaper is given in Appendix B.

An article written in Maltese entitled 'Iż-żoni marittimi protetti: bidla minn perspettiva lokali għal waħda internazzjonali' was sent to local newspapers. This article was published on 22 February 2013 under 'News' on the University of Malta's official website. A copy of this article is given in Appendix C.

This was also published in In-Nazzjon on 27 February 2013 and in L-Orizzont on 4 March 2013. Copies of these articles are given in Appendix D and Appendix E respectively. [Note that this is a Maltese language version of the article in English referred to above.]
