Key principles include:

Prioritizing sustainable food production while considering broader ecosystem impacts
Diverse production scales (ranging from small local farms and fisheries to large-scale operations)
Protecting regional traditions and biological diversity while anticipating future needs

The curriculum enables you to specialize in either aquaculture or fisheries based on your career goals while also building a versatile skill set for the workforce (such as scientific diving, small vessel operation, business administration, innovation, economics, policy, oceanography, and environmental sciences) through focused courses within our program and across URI's academic offerings.
