The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Environment is located at the Beauty Point campus close to the mouth of the Tamar estuary and 50 kms from the Newnham campus in Launceston. The campus has two main sites, the Centre for Marine and Small Craft Operations on the waterfront and the Fisheries Centre on the hill above. All of the College vessels are moored at Beauty Point. Lectures and classroom activities are supplemented by a number of laboratory training and voyages at sea. In addition to a range of smaller craft, the College uses its 35m stern trawler Bluefin and the 14m prawn trawler Reviresco to demonstrate a range of fishing methods, fish handling and fisheries biology.
Students use the largest recirculating water channel in the Southern Hemisphere, the flume tank.
Seagoing courses for the shipping industry are another major part of activities undertaken by the Faculty. Students are offered practical seagoing experience aboard the Wyuna, the College's 65m training vessel. Practical engineering experience is obtained on the Stephen Brown, a decommissioned collier. Fisheries is a specialised area covering the study of wild marine organisms and their environment, fish populations and their estimation, the management and behaviour of the catch, and the engineering and ecological aspects of catching systems. Post-harvest technology, fisheries economics, seafood marketing, and fisheries policy and law are also included as specialised areas.
