Content
SLE243 enables students to develop the multidisciplinary knowledge needed to be an active advocate and participant in developing sustainable marine futures. Safeguarding the health, productivity and resilience of marine ecosystems is essential to the protection of environmental, socio-economic and cultural values and future global food security. Learning and assessment activities in this unit will provide students with opportunity to investigate ten key challenges facing our ocean and opportunities associated with marine conservation and resource management including aquaculture (finfish, invertebrates and seaweed), wild fisheries management, biodiversity conservation and biosecurity. Students will learn directly from experts in these fields, working independently and collaboratively through case studies and applied field/laboratory exercises to explore challenges faced by our oceans and how responsible management and development can ensure sustainable marine futures.
