Presentation
Created in 1981, this University Diploma prepares students to manage production and development projects in Mediterranean and tropical aquatic ecosystems.
The aim of this vocational training program is to train managers in the engineering, operation and management of aquaculture and aquariology projects, and in activities designed to enhance the value of coastal and continental aquatic ecosystems, as part of development policies for Mediterranean and tropical regions.
Training benefits
Multidisciplinarity, diversity of professional situations and geographical areas.
Diploma recognized as a professional training qualification, the possession of which is required for the assessment of professional capacity in marine farming (decree of 07/07/2010) and for the granting of a concession for the exploitation of marine farming (decree of 22/03/1983).
Objectives
Prepare to design, lead and manage industry projects, local development projects, production projects and projects to enhance the value of aquatic ecosystems, while respecting environmental and social issues.
