ENVS 40.01 Community-Based Natural Resource Management I – Fisheries

In this component of the DSP we will explore the ecological, economic, and culture dimensions of fisheries along the New England coast. New England fisheries have some of the best known wild-caught species, including some that have sustained themselves (lobster), and others that have been greatly depleted (cod). We will take a community-based approach to the study of these systems, trying to understand how local folks are influenced by larger-scale forces as they attempt to use and manage their resources.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
