Training
The MarBEF network offers a small suite of training courses of immediate use to the network's objectives to cover the increasing demand for taxonomic work because of the high scientific and political profile of biodiversity issues, and the recognised shortage of expertise (Taxonomic Impediment). These will serve also as pilot courses and will serve as examples to elicit demands for similar or other training topics and formats from participants, the NoE members and the wider marine community. MarBEF has developed a long-term training strategy for the NoE.
