Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows the basic concepts about the evaluation of the effects of fishery activity on marine ecosystems and the mitigation of human impacts on fishery resources according to the CFP (EU Reg.1380/2014) and GFCM Mid-term Strategy. The student will gain kowledge for the enhancement and management of fishery activity based on the bio-ecological approach and on the technological innovation of the supply chain. The student is able: - to integrate science, production and socio-educational components; - to propose mitigation measures to ecosystems' alterations; - to propose flexible models for the management of wild resources actively expressing and debating those proposals.
