Science@Sea ship-based training courses will return
in early April on board the national research vessel Celtic
Voyager.
The two-day courses will take place in Cork harbour and approaches
and will focus on integrating the core disciplines of oceanography,
geophysics, benthic ecology and fisheries biology to provide
a multidisciplinary ecosystem approach to practical marine
scientific research.
Other aspects of research vessel operations will also be
addressed including vessel orientation, safety at sea and
survey design and planning.
