How Suðurnesjamenn, “The Southerners”, harness their inhospitable land and sea, seeking a balance between dare and awe, to provide for themselves and build up prosperous operations, is an inspiring story that our fellows set out to explore in a field trip Wednesday December 4th.

After settling in the programme and adjusting to winter conditions in Iceland, the newly arrived 2024-25 cohort of fellows spent their second week drawing up a general outline of the status of world fisheries and aquaculture.

Over the coming days most of the fellows, invited for this year’s Six-month training, will arrive in Iceland.

Today our 25th cohort of fellows graduated from the six-month training programme, in a cheerful ceremony held at the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute -- 25 fellows from 15 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
