Fisheries Management Skills Needs

Working with you to find what training and development you need.

 

Keeping up-to-date with legislative requirements

Employers need to know where to find current legislation and how to remain up-to-speed with it. What’s more, everyone employed in fisheries management must have the skills and understanding needed to comply with the law, such as the Water Environment and Water Services Act, the Water Framework Directive, and the new Fisheries Bill 2006

Predation management

The Marine Act 2010 says you must use people who have the relevant training to deal with predation management.

Environmental issues

Protection of the environment and improvements to the habitats of the fish stock the industry manages are crucial elements of your business. It is important to maintain your workforce’s  knowledge of current legislation and your own awareness of your duty of care.

Management skills

Fisheries management businesses need to develop thier management skills. This can be challenging for large organisations where staff work remotely, as well as for small sole traders who find it difficult to find the time away from their business.

Resource management and development

Your industry needs the skills to create sustainable fisheries and to develop fisheries for non-salmonid species. You also require the skills to effectively monitor your fish stocks and habitats.

Access to training

You told us you want more flexible ways to train your staff. With 90% of businesses having ten members of staff or less, you find it difficult to spend large periods of time on training courses and want more options, such as bite-sized, online and CD based training.
