Marine Harvest Scotland announced Monday it pledged two scholarships to the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in AquaCulture, Environment and Society (EMJMD ACES), which allows students to learn about sustainable aquaculture by traveling throughout Europe.

“Research and education is vital in an industry that is only 45 years old. For our business to thrive, and the industry to grow overall, we have to bring in young people who increasingly require specialist skills and training,” said Gareth Butterfield, technical services manager at Marine Harvest Scotland.
