STP656: Marine Conservation Policy and Coastal Sustainability

This unit covers the main policies and issues related to conserving marine habitats and care of the coast. It analyses the Federal marine and coastal policies that have developed in the last decade. Through these policies, the unit examines movements towards community involvement in coastal management and stewardship, towards an ecosystem-based approach to policy and management, and towards a comprehensive marine protected areas system. Key to the unit is practical and conceptual work with a local coast care group.
