参加海洋生态系统与社会（MES）计划的学生在科学与社会的交汇处工作，致力于通过创新和研究评估，管理和保护海洋资源。尽管课程选择是针对个人研究和职业目标而量身定制的，但我们的毕业生仍获得了确保自然资源可持续性至关重要的知识和专业知识。MES教师的专业知识涵盖了定量和定性学科，这些学科整合了海洋资源的生物学，生态，经济和社会维度，以及政策和法规框架对它们的影响。MES计划的本质在于我们的师资和课程的多样性，促进了解决世界上一些最具挑战性的海洋保护问题所必需的跨学科和跨学科的合作。我们博士的目标 和MS计划旨在
Students enrolled in the Marine Ecosystems and Society (MES) program work at the intersection of science and society, committed to assessing, managing, and conserving marine resources through innovation and research. Although course selections are tailored to match individual research and career objectives, our graduates acquire knowledge and expertise critical to ensuring the sustainability of natural resources. MES faculty expertise spans quantitative and qualitative disciplines that integrate the biological, ecological, economic, and social dimensions of marine resources and how they are shaped by policy and regulatory frameworks. The essence of the MES program lies in the diversity of our faculty and curriculum, fostering the cross- and interdisciplinary collaborations necessary to solve some of the world's most challenging ocean conservation issues. The goal of our Ph.D. and M.S. program is to prepare students as future leaders in the fields of marine fisheries science, ecosystem modeling, aquaculture, conservation, ecosystem science, coastal geography, socioeconomics, cultural and natural resource management, climate change, environmental law, and marine policy.
