理学学士（科学）（海岸和海洋科学）

沿海和海洋科学家对确保澳大利亚海洋环境的可持续管理的需求比以往任何时候都更加重要，因为在气候变化，资源开采和沿海开发的推动下，我们面临着不确定的未来。该专业反映出保护澳大利亚海岸线的需求不断增长，重点是海洋生物学，海洋学和资源管理。它的设计具有行业投入，旨在提供侧重于发展科学和海洋研究技能的学习经验。该课程由在鱼类生态学，珊瑚礁生态学，海洋污染，沿海地貌学，可持续渔业和水产养殖等领域积极研究的工作人员提供并提供。作为一名海洋科学家，您将面临挑战，发展您的主动性和求知欲，以帮助理解和保护海洋环境。
Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications. This course enables students to pursue their interest in science by choosing at least one science major available from the Faculty of Science and Engineering. There are opportunities for students to complete a double major for the duration of their study. Extension specialisations associated with each major are also available for students. Science specialisations are also available for students to choose alongside their chosen major. These specialisations require pre-requisite studies at the first-year level. Students are also able to choose minors which do not have pre-requisites at first year to augment their science studies.<br><br>Marine environments all around the world are increasingly vulnerable to climate change and ongoing coastal development and subsea resources extraction. Opportunities in coastal and marine science are therefore growing rapidly, with graduates sought by government, industry and non-profit organisations to help advise on how to tackle challenges and devise solutions.<br><br>This major also responds to the growing need to protect Australia's coastal waters, with an emphasis on marine biology, oceanographic sciences and resource management.<br><br>The course is designed and delivered by staff with research expertise in fish ecology, coral reef ecology, marine pollution, seafloor mapping, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. It has been designed with industry input, to ensure you develop scientific and marine research skills. You will be challenged to think as a marine scientist, developing your initiative and intellectual curiosity to help understand and protect the marine environment.
