In addition, the post-doctoral researcher will be expected to contribute to the dissemination and communication of findings from the project and participate in the project meetings. The post-doctoral researcher will also be expected to contribute to the Marine Institute CoCoMar project on 'Co-existence and Co-location in shared island Marine governance' and specifically to its work package on nature restoration.
