• Provide advice on habitat management and access

• Prioritise work delivery, to save money and time

• Demonstrate practical fishery management techniques

The course will be delivered by a range of experts in the Fisheries field, including staff from Kings College London, the Environment Agency, the Institute of Fisheries Management and guest speakers.
