Læringsutbytte
Upon completing the course, the students will:
· be able to describe how a broad range of human activities affects coastal environments
· be aware of major environmental problems affecting marine and coastal environments and the responsible sector regulators
· know the difference between top-down and bottom-up processes in management of marine and coastal environments
· be able to discuss how ecosystem services should be holistically integrated into management of marine and coastal environments
· have acquired knowledge about the different regulators, their sector laws and their placement in the hierarchy of marine and coastal management
· have developed an understanding of the history and complexity of management of marine and coastal environments nationally and internationally
Innhold
The course gives insight into the complexity of marine and coastal management nationally, regionally, and internationally/ globally, as well as in areas beyond national jurisdiction (e.g., conservation of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction). It provides an overview of the most important sector regulators, their legislative tools and governance. Topics covered include fisheries- and aquaculture management, nature conservation and restoration, marine protected areas, land-sea interactions, ecosystem services, climate change and sea level rise, sustainability of marine resource extraction including emerging industries, ecosystems and biodiversity, human population growth and -migration issues. The course examines the impact of human activities on coastal and marine environments and discusses the influence of international frameworks aiming at curbing negative trends and restoring degraded ecosystems (e.g., UNs sustainable development goal no. 14 Life below water, The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework).
