At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. recognise why coastal and marine management is often challenged by the dynamic and open nature of these environments
- LO2. explain why there are multiple definitions of the coastal zone and the implication of this for management
- LO3. understand the implications of scientific uncertainty in managing coastal and marine environments
- LO4. adopt principles of spatial reasoning and analysis in resolving complex coastal and marine management problems
- LO5. apply advanced spatial analysis methods and develop GIS based decision support models
- LO6. understand the importance of spatio-temporal scale and design in constructing and working with spatial data sets
- LO7. adopt principles of geographical reasoning and analysis in resolving complex social and environmental problems
- LO8. reflect on how the outcomes of GIS-based models can inform coastal decision making and planning.
