Learning unit contents

The course is made of five main parts: 1. The maritime space: configuration, general management and issues; 2. The exploitation and the management of halieutic resources (fisheries and aquaculture fisheries; products markets); 3. The exploitation and the management of other natural resources (energy, water, mineral products ...); 4. Other economic valorisation (maritime transport and harbours, littoral industries, tourism); 5. The littorals: territories threaded under pressure that have to be better managed.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The general objective of the course is to heighten students' awareness of the two problems of sea exploitation and littoral management.
The operational objective is to be able to assess a country or a region situation concerning the fishing activity and/or the aquaculture activity and/or other kind of economic valorisation (a SWOT analysis).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Capacity to analyse and treat data. Capacity to realize a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats).
An open attitude towards social and economic problems is also expected as well as a good basic economic and social culture.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Two workshops of analysis and data processing will be proposed : one on the status of fisheries and aquaculture in a country and the other on the market of a product.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face : Alternatively phases of theoretical lectures, phases of data treatment and phases of student presentation.
