This course will teach the students to work as a team to create a coastal management plan. Students will be arranged in small teams with complementary skill sets and interests. Students will create a multi-year management plan for a coastal ecosystem (e.g. Bay of Fundy). Preparing the management plan will require students to understand concepts from multiple disciplines including ecological modelling, economics, social science, and environmental law. Various stakeholders will be invited to present lectures. The completed management plan will be presented orally for the final exam. NOTE: This course is only open to students in the Applied Coastal Ecology major.
Prerequisites: A minimum of 90 ch and permission of the instructor. |
