This course is intended to provide students with an understanding of the importance and roles of laws and regulations for ocean governance, e.g. in the sustainable use and conservation of natural marine resources and the natural marine and coastal environments, through practice in application of knowledge. This will be complemented by discussions on the ethics in exploitation and conservation of resources in terms of development and modernisation. A visit to and/or ONLINE presentation by an external organisation/s to learn more on the actual implementation/enforcement of relevant laws, will complement classroom activities.
