Short Course

This course will expose students to the causes of coastal habitat degradation and loss, the loss in associated ecosystem services and therefore the need for effective options and approaches to generate real habitat rehabilitation or restoration. It will assist students to conduct field and desk-top assessments to diagnose these impacts and design effective interventions. Environmental professionals and practitioners who seek to design effective rehabilitation plans for coastal habitats to mitigate loss will learn what works through actual hands-on rehabilitation exercises. Furthermore, there has been ongoing research and continued development of alternative restoration techniques, applicable to small island developing states like Jamaica.
