Coastal & Marine Resource Management – a case study
Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by admin in Earth Sciences, Science
Chris Sergeant is studying the MSc Coastal & Marine Resource Management.
It was my passion for diving that introduced me to one of the most beautiful sights in the world. Coral reef can be quite spectacular and even in the UK we have much more than people think. It is home to a huge percentage of our marine life so it’s crucial we take care of it.
The course at Portsmouth allows you to tailor your studying and adapt it to the areas you want to focus on. Being right on the coast where could be better to study Coastal and Marine Resource Management?
My course looks at the principles of coastal management, the kinds of things affecting coastal change and how to best manage those changes. Threats to the coast come from natural and man made phenomena, so we might examine different aspects of climate change as well as looking at how current laws, such as those managing fishing quotas, protect the marine environment.
The course has given me a deeper understanding of my subject area and its place in the market and a qualification that shows employers that I’m committed to the sector.
