The FarFish project is hosting a series of lectures on fisheries management and innovation from 9-13 March.
Í FarFish The project focuses on the European Union's fishing fleet in international waters and within the jurisdiction of third world countries that have concluded agreements on access to their fishery resources. An important part of the project concerns the teaching and dissemination of knowledge to stakeholders, whether among European shipowners or representatives of coastal states with which the European Union has agreed. One part of that teaching and knowledge sharing is in the form of a course organized by the University of Tromsø. Matís is waiting for those who are interested to attend individual lectures in the course. The lectures will be streamed into Matís' classroom, followed by discussions led by Matís employees participating in the FarFish project.
