[ Transactional ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Conservation : Conservation and natural resources are central issues in environmental law. Law & Science of California Coastal Policy is an interdisciplinary course that focuses on managing marine and coastal resources in California by examining the institutional framework that shapes public and private decision-making affecting these resources. Students considering a career in environmental law may want to take one or more courses focusing on conservation and natural resources issues. General course Description: (Same as CEE 175A/275A, EARTHSYS 175/275). This interdisciplinary course integrates the legal, science, and policy dimensions of characterizing and managing our coastal resources in California. Our focus is on the land-sea interface as we explore contemporary coastal land use and marine resource decision-making. Among the focal issues we will examine are: coastal pollution, public health, ecosystem management; public access; private development; local community and state infrastructure; natural systems and significant threats; resource extraction; and conservation, mitigation and restoration. Students will learn the fundamental physics, chemistry, and biology of the coastal zone, tools for exploring data collected in the coastal ocean (time series analysis), as well as the institutional framework that shapes public and private decision-making affecting coastal resources. This course will take a "place-based" approach. Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law Course Frequency: Offered once a year |
