Fisheries Industry Science Mashup!

Fisheries Industry Science Mashup!
Event Details

Come down to Kilkeel to meet the team and find out about some of the research we are involved in at the heart of the Northern Ireland Fishing Industry. We are working with fishers using cutting-edge technology from marine science and engineering.

Underwater robotics, high frequency acoustics, video and communications combine to let us look at how the fishing gear interacts with the seabed, how it affects the seabed chemistry and how we can help to make this more sustainable for future generations. This kind of information can help to improve the way fishing happens, and we can learn about the environmental impacts. Our research team brings years of experience from come from all over the world, led by Ulster University, with partners in AFBI, University of Limerick, Alaska Pacific University and Brooklyn College New York.
