An introduction to specialized techniques of underwater excavation applicable to the excavation of Little Salt Spring (LSS), a prehistoric site owned and operated by Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. All students participate in a one-week intensive lecture course in the prehistory of Florida and general techniques of underwater excavation. The field course begins after that. All students must be present for all of the field course in order to complete the basic requirements. Activities include daily underwater excavation in depths of 10-30 feet of water, as well as surface support activities relating to diving and the recording and basic conservation of recovered ecofacts and artifacts dating before 9,000 radiocarbon years before present.
-
3.00 Credits
The location and study of underwater archaeological sites is undergoing fundamental changes because of application of advanced technologies developed for other fields, notably remote sensing, and the general availability of computer power for individual users. This course introduces the student to the latest techniques of survey and recording, focusing on hardware and software that can greatly increase the efficiency of any underwater excavation.
-
3.00 Credits
Ocean policy development and analysis of issues such as: offshore oil drilling, fisheries resource conflicts, marine mammal protection, ocean dumping and incineration, multiple use conflicts in marine protected areas, pollution from land based sources, and oil spill contingency planning.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the substantive legal issues concerning Aquaculture and the Coastal Zone. Legal aspects of Aquaculture related to ownership and boundaries in the coastal zone, legal and regulatory constraints, international consideration private and public rights, risks and incentives. Fish and shellfish as personal property and conservation laws affecting the fish farmer.
-
3.00 Credits
Development of a framework for formulation and assessment of coastal zone policy. Analysis of issues and conflicts in coastal zone management (CZM), such as: zoning and planning, coastal and beach protection, ecosystem protection, the federal flood insurance program, adaptations to sea level rise, coastal pollution from land-based sources, and tourism impacts.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will conduct fieldwork on environmental, technological, social, economical, and administrative aspects encountered in commercial aquaculture operations. This field course will complement Aquaculture Management I and II. Students will be able to apply most of the topics taught in MAF 512 and MAF 513. They will participate in all stages of the production process, including maturation, spawning, larval husbandry, nursery and grow out techniques, as well as harvesting, processing and exporting. Students will visit several large commercial hatcheries, farms and processing plants currently producing processing, packing and exporting shrimp and fish (both marine and freshwater) for US and European and Asian markets.
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course focusing on environmental problems. The study of Regulatory legislation, common law, and administrative law. Topics include toxic substances, air and water pollution, and habitat and species protection.
-
3.00 Credits
This course applies microeconomic theory to fisheries resource problems and policies. Economic models with the value of production as their objective, will contrast economists' and biologists' definitions of maximum yield and show why an unregulated fishery will not operate at either level. We will use economic reasoning to examine causes and consequences of fisheries problems and measures for dealing with them.
-
3.00 Credits
Submerged archaeological sites as exhaustible resources of a country's cultural heritage. Policies and procedures for their protection or mitigation will be surveyed using as examples the statutes and regulations of foreign states, the federal government, and the US states.
