Course information

Aim

The aim of this course is to connect the management perspectives of the different disciplines in order to achieve an over all perspective on fisheries management based on thorough knowledge within all areas.

Course description

MRM-3003 is a multidisciplinary course where topics of previous courses are discussed and elaborated in an interdisciplinary perspective.  The course also includes a thoroughly discussion on practical management means and methodology currently in use, and the biological, social and economic consequences in long and short time perspectives. The course makes a clear distinction between political objectives and necessary management means to be used in order to obtain the objectives. The problems of conflicting objectives, uncertainty and external interests are also discussed. Fisheries development is also focused and discussed in the context of community and society development.
