Course Objectives The aim of the course is to teach the coastal environment and coastal problems, coastal ecosystems, coastal resources and their uses. In addition, it explains sustainable resource development, marine and coastal protection area management, coastal zone management tools, and institutional arrangements for coastal management, especially in Turkey.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Define coastal structures problems.
  • Examine the necessity of sustainable development in coastal areas.
  • Discuss the coastal area's special structure, resources, problems related to coastal areas and various information.
  • Explain the interaction between disciplines and sectors, the need for participation of all stakeholders in the preparation of practical, integrated coastal zone management strategies.
  • Recognize the importance of working with state-of-the-art indicators.
Course Description The course covers concept of coastal zone management: coastal definition, coastal resources, coastal ecosystems, sustainable resource management.
