In June and July, 10 young oceanographers from the national institutions, universities, fisheries and environment ministries of five African countries, participated in an intensive training course hosted and facilitated by the Marine Research Institute at the University of Cape Town. The training course was designed to prepare the oceanographers to actively participate in the forthcoming cruise of the Norwegian research ship, Dr Fridtjof Nansen.
