ENV311: Managing Wetlands and Water

This unit provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical basis for the management, monitoring and conservation of rivers, streams, estuaries and wetlands. It develops an understanding of aquatic processes which includes the physical and chemical features of inland, estuarine and nearshore marine waters and aspects of primary and secondary production. The unit then focuses on human impacts, monitoring, management strategies and water resources policy. The practical component of the unit provides a knowledge of relevant physical, chemical and biological research techniques.
