About MaReMa

Centre of Marine Resource Management was established in 2004 at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, University of Tromsø.
The aim of the centre is to promote research in resource management both nationally and internationally.
Special emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary research and education.

MaReMa has its origins from the Norwegian College of Fishery Science which holds multidisciplinary research groups in the field of resource management. The groups work on topics as resource biology, population dynamics, harvesting technology, fisheries economics, bioeconomics, sociology and planning. Many of the members of MaReMa also have a long track record in interdisciplinary research. The centre has considerable international experience within the areas of resource management and project evaluation.

Online courses
By the 2007 course revision three new online courses aiming to prepare new students for the IFM programme, were introduced. The online courses are offered those lacking the necessary background in biology, economics or social science in their previous bachelor degree. The new online courses are free and represent also an offer to students having the sufficient background already, but who want to refresh their knowledge within the different disciplines.
