The Henry Luce Foundation Seminar Series
During the fall of 2002, researchers at the WHOI Marine Policy Center conducted a seminar for graduate students in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program, WHOI post-doctoral investigators, and other interested individuals in the Wood Hole scientific community. The seminar was sponsored by The Henry Luce Foundation. The series focused on topical issues in marine policy and methods for addressing these issues. The objective of the seminar was to demonstrate how research in the field of marine policy can help resource managers and stakeholders make decisions about how to use the oceans wisely. Participants were introduced to basic methodologies in environmental and natural resource economics and policy analysis. Discussions covered issues relating to:
- fisheries management
- marine protected areas
- ocean aquaculture
- protected species management
- marine minerals development
- marine pollution
- maritime transportation
- the economic value of the oceans
The seminar series was held in the WHOI Smith Conference room on Wednesday afternoons from 3.00 to 4.30pm. The schedule was as follows:
