Program overview
The Graduate Certificate in Integrated Coastal Zone Management is designed for practitioners working as coastal managers and to assist graduates to:
- appreciate international trends in environmental assessment and management as applied to the coastal zone
- better understand international and national obligations, commitments to environmental assessment and management of coastal environments
- more effectively assess and manage complex agricultural, industrial, infrastructure and urban development proposals using statutory and best practice processes to meet the multiple land uses and the pressures on the ecosystems of coastal areas
- proactively address the implications of environmental and climate change and the associated hazards and risks as they apply to the coastal zone
Skills will be acquired through a combination of readings, lectures, group discussions, practical projects and use of interactive modelling tools.
