In much of the world, population growth in the coastal zone is increasing, stressing the natural resources and those that depend on them due to over-development, pollution and overfishing. At the same time, global climate change, linked to anthropogenic activities and warming are increasingly affecting the coastal zone due to an increased prevalence of high-energy storms, ocean acidification and sea level rise.
The purpose of this degree program is to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of managing human interactions within a highly dynamic coastal environment.
