Program Details


Fisheries and Aquaculture
Our approach in the Fisheries and Aquaculture Program is to use hands-on projects and experiences to reinforce a strong theoretical foundation in aquatic sciences. Skills and knowledge are learned in the framework of inquiry by means of integrating research-based projects in nearly all the program courses. Communication skills, team work and computer use are interwoven throughout the curriculum.

Peninsula College is located in a wonderful place to pursue an education in fisheries and aquaculture. The significant effort going into Pacific salmon recovery and habitat restoration of Puget Sound provide ample opportunities for students to get engaged in hands-on learning experiences. Collaborative projects include work with the Elwha River Ecosystem Recovery Project and nearshore fish use of the central Strait of Juan de Fuca. Also, there are numerous aquaculture operations near campus where students can practice skills learned at the college's aquaculture facility.
