SEA 201 Ocean Conservation
Over 70% of our planet is covered in oceans, more than 80% of the world's population lives within 50 miles of the coast, and fish products are a primary source of animal protein for approximately 40% of the world.
We rely extensively on oceans, but this relationship is not always a healthy one. Our reliance often leads to conflicts between people and ocean resources, including overfishing, loss of ocean biodiversity, marine pollution, and coastal and marine habitat degradation. Focuses on the health and well-being of the world's oceans and the people who depend on them.
Evaluates how and why people interact with oceans and marine resources today, with an eye to understanding how it shapes the oceans of tomorrow.
