Fisheries and Aquaculture Management
The Fisheries and Aquaculture Management module explores the sustainability of fisheries management from international conventions and the UN Law of the Sea to national policies and strategies. Regional policies aimed at managing fisheries are then assessed using Europe as a case in point.
The module will also evaluate fisheries from a range of perspectives, including fishery systems (natural, human and management); marine and freshwater ecosystem dynamics; human demand for protein including fish; the evolution of sustainability standards linked to trade (including the Marine Stewardship Council); the Importance of fishing to communities; and, the increase in aquaculture and marine fish farming.
