Content
Transdisciplinary approaches are key to achieving a sustainable marine environment and growing the Blue Economy. Students need to have a holistic understanding (beyond the science) of the world and the unity of knowledge from various stakeholders to work towards sustainable solutions in marine environments. This unit will encourage you to become aware of the complexity of, and interrelationships between environmental, economic, social, political and technical systems and how these relationships intercept to contribute to solving the challenges facing our marine environment. Together with your knowledge and capabilities obtained from the core program and major, you will work in teams to apply a transdisciplinary approach to define a problem, develop a methodology, and propose a course of action (solution) to a project within the priority areas identified in Australia's National Marine Science Plan.
