Subject description:

Marine Studies explores the world of our oceans and waterways, combining practical skills with real-world knowledge. Students learn water safety, first aid, and equipment maintenance while investigating aquaculture, sustainable fishing, and the protection of marine ecosystems. The course examines the ethical and sustainable use of marine resources and introduces industries and organisations that manage and protect our waters.

With a strong focus on hands-on learning, students apply safety principles in marine settings, work with specialised equipment, and develop techniques for a range of activities. They build skills in research, experimentation, and communication, preparing them for future opportunities in marine-related fields.
