Course Introduction
Marine ecosystems are critical for global biodiversity, climate regulation, and human livelihoods. However, pollution from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources threatens ocean health, fisheries, and coastal communities. Understanding, preventing, and managing marine pollution has become a vital responsibility for environmental professionals, policymakers, and marine engineers.
The Marine Pollution and Management training equips participants with comprehensive knowledge of marine pollutants, their sources, environmental impact, and effective mitigation strategies. Through scientific principles, regulatory frameworks, and practical case studies, participants will develop the skills needed to monitor, control, and manage marine pollution sustainably.
