This Double Degree Major provides students with the knowledge and practical skills to plan and manage human activities while conserving the coastal environment. Students in this course gain a practical experience through a range of field-based experiences in marine environments. You'll learn apply principles and practices of environmental and biological science to the planning and sustainable management of coastal zones. Apply problem solving, critical thinking and decision making skills to the challenges facing coastal zones under increasing anthropogenic pressures and the adverse effects of climate change. Locate, extract and interpret relevant evidence and scientific literature to inform decision making relevant to the planning and management of the coastal zone.

Demonstrate the use of written, oral and interpersonal communication skills appropriate to the conduct of a professional engaged in the management of coastal zones in the Australasian region. Use appropriate technologies and their applications to generate information to inform decision makers involved with resource management, biodiversity monitoring and mapping of the coastal zone, with emphasis on the marine environment. Apply skills in critical analysis and interpretation of the published literature to the development of lifelong learning skills in environmental management and the science underpinning decision making in the coastal zone. Sustain intellectual curiosity about the environment and humankind's role within it. Recognise the national and global imperatives driving coastal changes to biological, chemical and physical systems. Integrate international case studies and experiences in the application of knowledge to coastal decision making
