The Maritime Environmental Law and Policy minor focuses on the rules that govern acceptable human impacts on the environment, the policy processes for creating those rules, as well as the incentives created by those rules. As maritime environmental issues become more prominent, students will understand relevant statutes and doctrine and their real-world application in maritime affairs, as well as interdisciplinary approaches to maritime and environmental management while exploring legal aspects of ocean and coastal policy issues.
