About

The Marine Environmental Protection programme from Bangor University provides theoretical and practical training in measuring and quantifying marine resources and the effects of conflicting usage upon them. It provides a sound scientific basis on which to develop policy and make decisions on marine resource exploitation and protection around the world. 

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

The emergence of the Law of the Sea Convention and establishment of Exclusive Economic Zones has given coastal states extensive and comprehensive rights and obligations over marine resources in vast areas of ocean. Wise management of ocean resources is essential if the full economic potential of these new entitlements is to be realised. To ensure the continuing biological productivity of these areas, the level and type of development of activities such as waste dumping, mineral extraction, recreation, industrial and urban growth, fisheries and aquaculture, need to be controlled, and interactions of these often conflicting activities resolved by management.

The Marine Environmental Protection programme from Bangor University can lead to fulfilling career paths such as:

  • Public Sector, e.g. Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Waterways Board, County Councils,  Fisheries Protection Committee, National Rivers Authority/Environment Agency, EEC Environmental Commission.
