ENVM 632 - Marine Resources

Unit(s): 2

Our marine systems are in a crisis, with overfishing, ocean acidification, coastal development, and climate change threatening many species. What management strategies can protect our marine resources? Furthermore, is it possible to use the oceans to mitigate global climate change? We will explore the science behind these problems and solutions (e.g., fertilizing the oceans with iron to draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide) to evaluate the efficacy of various management strategies.
