FAO and the University of Western Cape joined forces in 2018 to strengthen knowledge and implement capacity development activities in the field of marine sciences, and facilitate trainings and academic activities in support of the application of the ecosystem approach in the management of marine fisheries promoted by the EAF-Nansen Programme. The support to M.Sc. and PhD marine science students is a priority for this partnership. Activities are funded by the South Africa’s National Research Foundation while the FAO offers technical expertise to students.
