This course explores community-based management for sustainable natural resource harvesting and alternative livelihoods for coastal communities. It focuses on how fishermen collectives in Bali and Lombok transitioned from environmentally destructive practices to becoming leaders in conservation and social enterprises. Students will engage with marine conservation organizations to learn about the global marine wildlife trade, sustainable management practices for marine life such as octopuses, turtles, and manta rays, and efforts to restore their ecosystems. These real-world interactions offer insights into the challenges and successes of marine conservation, and lessons that can be applied to Southeast Asia and beyond.
