Course: Coastal and Marine Management: Theory and Tools
What is marine and coastal zone management? What do you need to know? What kind of tools and techniques are at your disposal? The reality is that marine and coastal zone management requires an interdisciplinary approach to work well. You need to understand the fundamentals underlying the local ecology, social aspects, economic drivers and implications and cultural norms and traditions. In this class we’ll explore a diversity of marine and coastal zone management elements, covering theory, ecology, policy, legislation and specific tools and techniques.
This course is designed to give students a solid breath of understanding to build upon throughout the rest of the program. Lecture, group work and practical and applied assignments are used as well as potential for local field trips.
