| Objective: The course is designed to introduce student's to the role of man in coastal environments. Basic landforms, processes and resources provide a framework upon which we will build an understanding of man’s impact on the coast. The course will focus on man’s use, misuse, and approaches to ethical and wise management of coastal resources. Current issues developed from ongoing concerns and activities in North Carolina will be discussed throughout the course. The course is taught by an interdisciplinary team which will provide both breadth and depth concerning coastal environments. Local experts from the Office of Coastal Management, Shellfish Sanitation Program, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other agencies serve as guest speakers. |
