Workshop on CIDA’s regional oceans initiatives: CIDA Graduate Trainee Report

As a requirement of their degree programmes, 35 post graduate students in marine affairs, representing Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; The Universite de Quebec in Rimouski, Quebec, Canada; and the World Maritime University in Malmoe, Sweden were invited as delegates to participate in the Workshop. The students were responsible for reviewing each of the Workshop presentations and in group format analyze and discuss the information, and then report back to the plenary session on their perceptions and insights of this 'hands-on' case study experience. This paper reports the results of the students' deliberations and the issues raised during their presentation to the delegates at the Workshop plenary.
