CourseDetails
• Advanced Fisheries Management: This unit covers the latest techniques and strategies for managing fisheries to ensure sustainable yields and healthy marine ecosystems. Topics may include stock assessment, bycatch reduction, and fisheries policy.
• Marine Protected Areas: This unit explores the role of marine protected areas (MPAs) in conserving marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. Topics may include MPA design, monitoring, and enforcement, as well as the social and economic impacts of MPAs.
• Climate Change and Ocean Acidification: This unit examines the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on fisheries and marine ecosystems. Topics may include the effects of rising temperatures, changing ocean currents, and increasing carbon dioxide levels on marine life and fisheries production.
• Aquaculture and Marine Ecosystem Services: This unit explores the role of aquaculture in meeting the global demand for seafood while minimizing impacts on marine ecosystems. Topics may include sustainable aquaculture practices, the use of novel feeds, and the integration of aquaculture with other marine ecosystem services.
• Marine Ecosystem Valuation: This unit covers the methods and techniques for valuing marine ecosystem services, including market-based approaches (such as fisheries revenues) and non-market approaches (such as contingent valuation and choice experiments). Topics may include the economic, social, and cultural values of marine ecosystems, and the challenges and opportunities of integrating ecosystem values into decision-making.
• Marine Spatial Planning: This unit examines the use of marine spatial planning (MSP) to balance the competing demands on marine resources, including fisheries, tourism, transportation, and energy production. Topics may include MSP frameworks, tools, and case studies, as well as the challenges and opportunities of implementing MSP in different regions and contexts.
• Marine Pollution and Waste Management: This unit explores the impacts of marine pollution and waste on fisheries and marine ecosystems. Topics may include sources and pathways of marine pollution, the effects of pollution on marine life, and strategies for reducing pollution and waste, such as extended producer responsibility and circular economy approaches.
