Presentation
Created in 1981, this university diploma prepares students for the management of production and development projects in Mediterranean and tropical aquatic ecosystems.
This professional training program aims to train engineering, operations, and project management executives in aquaculture, aquariology, and activities aimed at promoting coastal and continental aquatic ecosystems, within the framework of Mediterranean and tropical land use policies.
The advantages of the training program
Multidisciplinary approach, diversity of professional situations and geographical areas.
Diploma recognized as a professional qualification required for the assessment of professional competence in marine aquaculture (decree of July 7, 2010) and for the granting of a concession for marine aquaculture operations (decree of March 22, 1983).
Objectives
Prepare to design, lead, and manage projects related to industries, land use planning, production, and enhancement of aquatic ecosystems, while respecting environmental and societal issues.
