Overview

You can learn more with our Marine Policy and Management programme at University of New Haven. Human uses of the marine environment, including fishing, aquaculture, energy development, and tourism, have increased significantly in the past two decades. Coastal areas are highly productive and resource-rich ecosystems and also account for some of the most sought-after real estate in the world.

Key Facts:

Multiple uses, potentially conflicting interests, and economic and social dependency create ever more complex issues of sustainability, environmental law and policy, and resource management.
This degree is a career-blazer for a wide diversity of students of various backgrounds and undergraduate degrees. Many subjects in the natural and social sciences, humanities, business, and engineering will dovetail beautifully with a graduate education in how to navigate the practical realities of conserving our marine and coastal resources.

Jobs that you could pursue with this degree include:

Coastal Management Specialist
Fisheries Manager
Coastal Resilience Coordinator
Marine Management and Policy Specialist
Marine Environmental Planner
Outreach Manager
Communication Director
