A week long National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) student training in multidisciplinary offshore operations in Marine Science. The overarching objective of this training survey was to introduce students to the multidisciplinary ecosystem approach to investigating the marine environment using the key disciplines of hydrography, oceanography, benthic ecology, fisheries science and marine geology. The training surveys took place in Cork Harbour, Ireland in November 2021 on board the Marine Institute's RV Celtic Voyager. The Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training (SMART) is a marine science partnership programme designed to further develop capacity in carrying out offshore operations on board research vessels for third level students of marine-related science and technologies.
