This site is designed as a starting point for student inquiry (see below) into the Management of our Marine Environment.
Readings and Questions are intended to guide research and to get students thinking about a selection of issues.
As students delve into the topics they will come up with more questions of their own, in fact they will find there are more questions than answers. Or as Mark Twain put it: "The researches of many commentators have already thrown much darkness on this subject, and it is probable that if they continue we shall soon know nothing at all about it."
Marine and Coastal resource management fits broadly under 4 main headings
We will explore each of these in turn.
· free for all
· control what is done
· no take / no modify
· restoration
There are a number of issues that have recently been in the news, students might want to investigate some of these.
For example:
Offshore oil drilling... Reading 1 Reading 2
Mining the seabed... Reading 1 Reading 2
The Rena wreck... Reading
