What is Marine Studies?

This course involves study to develop an awareness of the scope and diversity of marine ecosystems, a sense of responsibility, respect, and the need for wise management practices when dealing with marine resources. It also looks at the impact of human demands on these fragile ecosystems. Marine Studies may assist students who wish to work in marine or conservation related occupations.
