The SEaDAL Lab brings statistical expertise to the MHFC community, contributing to collaborative research on marine ecosystems, fisheries, and sustainable resource management. Its expertise in quantitative methods, statistical modelling, and data analysis complements the MHFC’s interdisciplinary research and provides opportunities for students and researchers to develop advanced analytical skills while addressing real world fisheries and marine challenges.

The Integrated Fisheries Lab, conducts quantitative fisheries research across marine and freshwater environments around the world. The lab brings together modelling, theory, and collaboration to address applied fisheries challenges, with a particular focus on sustainable fisheries management and conservation in a changing climate. As part of the MHFC learning community, the lab contributes expertise, research, and opportunities for collaboration across fisheries science and management.

Launching in September 2026, Dalhousie’s 16-month Master of Fisheries Science (MFSc) is an interdisciplinary professional program preparing the next generation of fisheries scientists and managers. Students gain applied training in stock assessment, data science, fisheries biology, management, and communication through coursework, field experiences, and engagement with fisheries professionals. The program directly supports the MHFC’s commitment to interdisciplinary fisheries science, collaboration, and training the next generation of fisheries professionals.

The Master of Marine Management (MMM) is an interdisciplinary professional program combining marine science and social sciences with practical training in ocean and coastal management. Students develop expertise through coursework, electives, internships, and applied projects addressing real-world marine management challenges.

The program complements the MHFC’s focus on connecting fisheries science with decision-making, collaboration, and meaningful partnerships, providing students with the management, policy, and interdisciplinary skills needed to support sustainable fisheries and marine resources.
