People and the Sea

Course Description

Modern marine science and education often overlooks the importance of diverse human influences and impacts on the marine environment. ‘People and the Sea’ seeks to explore the myriad of interactions different groups of society have on the marine world, both positive and negative. This course offers a chance for students to immerse themselves in fieldwork and the depths, but also to step  back and investigate the footprints we leave behind.
