What will I learn?
The Fisheries Engineering Course provides practical tools to enhance boat safety, fuel efficiency, and fishing gear performance for vessels of 8–12 metres. You will learn about optimised deck arrangements, ergonomic methods, and proper use of personal protective equipment, as well as gear design, ways to prevent damage, and reducing unwanted catch. It also covers cost-benefit assessments, trial runs, monitoring techniques, and involving stakeholders to plan, assess, and expand effective, regulation-compliant improvements on the water.
