ENVMGT 748
: Coastal Management2023 Semester Two (1235)
Explores the physical, social and policy dimensions of coastal management. The nature of coastal environments is a function of physical coastal dynamics, the history of human occupation and utilisation of the coast, and governmental decision making. Discusses shifts in management approaches in the coastal environment, using national and international examples to highlight key coastal management issues.
