11:628:342 Marine Conservation - 3 Credits

This course will focus on coastal zones as ecosystems of global significance. They are heterogeneous, complex, and biologically diverse. Increasingly, this is where human populations are concentrated. Conservation issues are urgent and not easily addressed because of fragmented jurisdictions and competing uses. The course will attempt to draw students into thinking about conservation issues and conservation tools and the linkages between science and policy. Following a series of lectures and discussions on issues, conservation tools, and the properties of coastal ecosystems, the course will follow the text in using a series of case studies to exemplify those issues and the steps already taken to address them. As part of the evaluation of student performance, students will prepare their own case studies. Some students may work in small teams.
