Abstract

This research utilizes a case study approach to explore the role of Higher Education in supporting aquaculture and fisheries management in Ireland's seafood industry. Specifically, it examines an innovative regional partnership between the South East Technological University (SETU) and the fisheries and aquaculture sector, which led to the development of a Higher Diploma in Business in Fisheries and Aquaculture. This program was crafted in direct response to regional industry needs, aiming to enhance the skill set of individuals in the sector and address the employment challenges faced by the industry. The case study reveals the importance of targeted educational programs in bridging the skills gap and supporting sustainable industry growth. This research contributes to the broader discourse on the intersection of higher education and regional economic development, providing valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and industry stakeholders.
