应用沿海生态学（ACE）计划为学生做好了在沿海自然资源管理，生态系统恢复，环境监测以及许多其他领域的职业准备的准备。ACE在生物学，地理学，化学和海洋学等领域的基础学习与鲑鱼，陆生鱼类和贝类管理，溪流栖息地恢复，雨林生态学，野生动植物管理等领域的应用课程之间取得平衡。
The Applied Coastal Ecology (ACE) program readies students for careers in coastal natural resources management, ecosystem restoration, environmental monitoring, and many others. ACE balances foundational learning in areas such as biology, geography, chemistry and oceanography with applied courses in areas such as salmon, ground fish and shellfish management, stream habitat restoration, rainforest ecology, wildlife management, and more.<br><br>ACE students get important technology training in computer database management, GIS mapping, surveying, technical writing, and presentation. Students participate in real-world, community-based projects to gain employment-ready experience and ultimately gain a strong sense of how coastal ecosystems react to the stresses imposed on them by human activity, and how to apply procedures to mitigate impacts and restore healthy ecosystems.
