Introduction to Coastal Management
Tentative Date: September 2012
Understanding the science of the coastal environment is becoming increasingly important for not only engineers and scientists, but also environmental officers, planners, policy makers, and managers working in a wide range of fields. This course is designed to introduce participants to the fundamental concepts of coastal management and the coastal environment. The course is a good introduction for people starting an engineering or science career in coastal management, or to allow members of other industries to communicate with coastal practitioners.
The course will provide background information on the key aspects of coastal management, provide direction on available guidelines and literature, and introduce the technical concepts of coastal processes and management.
