海洋环境保护（MSc）

《海洋法公约》的出现和专属经济区的建立使沿海国家在广阔的海洋地区对海洋资源拥有广泛而全面的权利和义务。如果要实现这些新权利的全部经济潜力，对海洋资源进行明智的管理至关重要。为了确保这些地区持续的生物生产力，需要控制诸如废物倾倒，矿物开采，娱乐，工业和城市增长，渔业和水产养殖等活动的发展水平和类型，并解决这些经常相互冲突的活动之间的相互作用通过管理。该硕士课程为一年制全日制课程，由9个月的教学课程和3个月的研究项目组成，并通过持续评估进行审查。该课程提供了有关测量和量化海洋资源以及冲突使用对海洋资源的影响的
The emergence of the Law of the Sea Convention and establishment of Exclusive Economic Zones has given coastal states extensive and comprehensive rights and obligations over marine resources in vast areas of ocean. Wise management of ocean resources is essential if the full economic potential of these new entitlements is to be realised. To ensure the continuing biological productivity of these areas, the level and type of development of activities such as waste dumping, mineral extraction, recreation, industrial and urban growth, fisheries and aquaculture, need to be controlled, and interactions of these often conflicting activities resolved by management.This MSc is a full-time one-year course, consisting of 9 months taught course and 3 months research project, and examined by continuous assessment. The course provides theoretical and practical training in measuring and quantifying marine resources and the effects of conflicting usage upon them. It provides a sound scientific basis on which to develop policy and make decisions on marine resource exploitation and protection around the world.CareersPublic Sector, e.g. Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Waterways Board, County Councils, Fisheries Protection Committee, National Rivers AuthorityEnvironment Agency, EEC Environmental Commission.Private Sector, e.g. Aquatic consultancies specialising in survey and environmental impact assessment, aquaculture, oil industry, mining, instrument development, informatics and computing.Voluntary organisations such as World Wide Fund for Nature, Greenpeace, Wildlife Trusts, RSPCA, Royal Geographical Society.Higher Education and Research, e.g. Doctorate Research, Research Assistants, University Lecturing, British Antarctic Survey, Field Centre teaching assistants.Overseas students return to comparable posts overseas.UK students employed overseas in comparable posts.
