Marine science education in the Philippines: prospects for a program in coastal zone management
1991
Gomez, E.D. (Philippines Univ., Diliman, Quezon City (Philippines))
An interplay of social, economic, biological, and environmental factors has heightened awareness of the significant role marine science education plays in the overall development of coastal countries like the Philippines. Currently, the Biology and Fisheries Departments in the universities across the country offer courses relating to the marine environment but lack a purely marine science program, with the exception of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UPMSI), which offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Marine Science. This paper explores the prospects for development of marine science education which zeroes in on coastal zone management (CZM) through a consortium of universities, with the possibility of an association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional collaboration.
