The alarming environmental deterioration in Thailand has been a major concern in successive national economic and social development plans. The ensuing development policies resulted in a review of environmental education and on ongoing revision of university curricula as an essential step towards developing national environmental management capability. The curricula have two approaches: the "generalist" on multidisciplinary approach, which gives an overview on environmental issues, and the "specialist" or in-depth approach, which aims to produce environmental scientists, engineers and community developers with their respective areas of concentration. The overall strategy is to produce graduates with the capability to cope with the complex issues of environmental management and sustainable development of coastal resources. This paper highlights the marine science and marine affairs programs at Chulalongkorn University as its case study.
