Master's Degree in Assessment and Environmental Monitoring of Marine and Coastal Ecosystems

The marine environment and coastal areas are of strategic importance due to the large number of uses, resources and services they provide. Much of the activities carried out on these environments can cause environmental impacts on ecosystems and, at times, be a source of conflicts between users. This makes sustainable management of the marine environment one of the basic objectives of the European Union to ensure both environmental sustainability and the competitiveness of the economic activities that depend on this environment.

The need of a response to these new challenges has led to the demand for specialised professionals who, with an important character of sustainability and technological applicability, are able to apply solutions in strategic areas to guarantee the sustainability of the coastal territories and their communities. These strategic areas include assessment, management, environmental monitoring, control and planning of coastal systems.

The main aim of this Master's degree is to train high-level specialists in the analysis, evaluation and monitoring of coastal and marine ecosystems. In this way, through a scientific and technological training we aim to train professionals and researchers capable of:
