This unit examines legal and policy frameworks for the management of coastal and marine areas - both generally and considering Australia as a specific case study. The unit will suit both international and national students who want to increase their understanding of coastal- and marine-related issues. Topics addressed include relevant international treaties generally; different international marine zones; the characteristics of Australian coastal and marine environments; the constitutional framework for the management of offshore areas; the regulation of marine and coastal pollution; creation and regulation of marine parks and reserves; fisheries management; the regulation of offshore oil and gas resource extraction; and responses to the impacts of climate change on coastal and marine environments.
