Ten years of ACES: Training aquaculture's future leaders
With a global human population in excess of eight billion, governments and planners are looking to aquaculture to provide food security in a sustainable way.
But this is a diverse global industry that comes in many forms, with various societal and ecological challenges.
In this episode, two of the academics behind a highly-rated aquaculture Masters Degree, ACES, reflect on 10 years of the programme, designed to train the industry and academic leaders of the future.
Profs. Elizabeth Cottier-Cook and Laurent Barille also highlight the challenges and opportunities within global aquaculture and reflect on how they too have learned from their international programme.
The Ocean Explorer podcast is produced by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), an ocean research charity and partner of UHI based in Oban.
In each episode, we take a deep dive into marine science topics with SAMS scientists and special guests.
