Students interested in coastal and marine spatial planning and management study how people think about, engage in, and manage their activities in coastal and ocean spaces.<\/p>\n

Particular attention is paid to decision making processes, scientific data and information used in planning and management, spatial and temporal patterns of use, and human connections with coastal and ocean spaces. Courses in GIS mapping, coastal management, marine protected area management, and others equip our students with the knowledge and tools to contribute meaningfully to on-going spatial planning and management efforts in the US and around the world.<\/p>\n

Students studying coastal and marine spatial planning and management have found positions with planning agencies at local, state, regional and federal levels, non-government organizations, and in academia.<\/p>\n
