Panel for the supply of Marine Samples to support Bord Iascaigh Mhara's Seafood Technical Services Projects

Tender description

BIM’s Seafood Technical Services Unit co-ordinates data collection, analysis and dissemination for Department of Agriculture, Food & Marine (DAFM), Marine Institute (MI) and the seafood industry. Data generated contributes to programmes aiming to improve husbandry practices, fisheries management and the overall commercial competitiveness and sustainability of the sector, particularly, but not exclusively, in the delivery of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. BIM relies on the support of industry to meet the sampling requirements associated with this work, particularly given the extensive distribution of aquaculture and inshore fisheries activities around the Irish coast and the range of services requiring data collection. BIM is therefore seeking to establish a panel of experienced samplers to cover all areas of the coast. Please refer to the enclosed Panel documentation.
