The SMART (Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training ) MaREI (Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland) Ocean Energy training survey took place in Cork Harbour in February 2016 on board the Marine Institute's R.V. Celtic Voyager. The objectives of the training programme were to give students the capability to analyse the morphodynamics of coastal systems and the hydrodynamic behaviour of the marine environment. The MaREI training programme forms part of the undergraduate and masters degrees for the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Energy Engineering in University College Cork.
