Marine Science and Technology 

Welcome to the home page of the Marine Science and Technology department at the NAFC Marine Centre.  The activity within the department is divided into four sections: Aquaculture Development, Fisheries Science, Marine Environment, and Marine Planning, Policy and Advice, although many staff have input to more than one section due to the multidisciplinary approach that is applied to many of our projects.

We conduct applied research and provide training and advice to marine-based industries and other stakeholders within Shetland, wider Scotland and beyond.  Our aim is to add positively to the viability of industry sectors, to train and educate people of all ages and backgrounds, and to help integrate people and the marine environment.

You can find information relating to each section using the relevant link, and should you have any questions or comments, any one of our staff would be happy to assist you.
