At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the theoretical background of Ecological Risk Assessment and its application for assessing the risks of fishing to marine ecosystems and species
- Assess the priority management intervention that is required to address species and ecosystems that are assessed as being of high risk to fishing activities
- Use the skills acquired in the training course to undertake an ERAEF using their own data to assess the risks of fishing to marine ecosystems and species
