This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of marine policy, including the development, implementation, and evaluation of policies aimed at protecting marine ecosystems and supporting sustainable use of marine resources. Students will learn about the various international, national, and local regulatory frameworks that govern marine activities, such as fishing, shipping, and marine conservation. The course highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement and the role of different actors, including governments, NGOs, and local communities, in marine policy-making and management.

In addition to policy development, the course covers practical aspects of marine resource management, including marine spatial planning, ecosystem-based management, and the establishment and management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Students will explore case studies of successful and challenging marine management initiatives, gaining insights into best practices and lessons learned. The course also addresses emerging issues in marine policy, such as climate change adaptation, marine pollution control, and sustainable development. Through lectures, policy analysis, and field exercises, students will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for careers in marine policy, environmental management, and conservation, while understanding the complex socio-economic and environmental factors that influence marine governance.
