Perspectives of Environmental Issues in Coastal Zones

Catalog description

This course examines the major issues affecting United States coastal zones and wetland areas in the context of global legislation and practice. Using a multidisciplinary perspective, students will examine the management and governance themes that shape coastal behavior. Case studies of climate change will be used to explore a variety of questions through an environmental justice lens, such as: who is threatened by coastal issues, how do scientists share data with policy makers, and how can governments and individuals affect change to mitigate the effects of climate change?
