Course description

This course explores the natural functioning of coasts and oceans, and gives students an understanding of the critical role the oceans play in the environmental, social and economic well-being of communities worldwide. With a sharp focus on Australia and the Asia-Pacific, we identify solutions to the grand challenges facing our oceans, from regenerating marine habitats and reversing biodiversity loss to producing sustainable aquatic foods and products; from increasing resilience to sea level rise to capturing carbon and reducing pollution
