Course Overview
Coastal and marine environments provide critical resources and services, yet they face increasing pressure from climate change, overexploitation, and human development. This Marine and Coastal Geology for Resource Management Training Course introduces participants to the geological processes shaping coasts and oceans, and the implications for sustainable resource management.
Through applied learning, participants will examine sediment dynamics, shoreline processes, marine resources, and environmental challenges. The course integrates geology with policy and management strategies, enabling participants to design sustainable solutions for marine and coastal environments.
By the end of the program, participants will have practical insights into balancing resource use with the protection of fragile marine ecosystems.
