The course is made of five main parts: 1. The maritime space: configuration, general management and issues; 2. The exploitation and the management of halieutic resources (fisheries and aquaculture fisheries; products markets); 3. The exploitation and the management of other natural resources (energy, water, mineral products ...); 4. Other economic valorisation (maritime transport and harbours, littoral industries, tourism); 5. The littorals: territories threaded under pressure that have to be better managed.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The general objective of the course is to heighten students' awareness of the two problems of sea exploitation and littoral management.
The operational objective is to be able to assess a country or a region situation concerning the fishing activity and/or the aquaculture activity and/or other kind of economic valorisation (a SWOT analysis).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Two workshops of analysis and data processing will be proposed : one on the status of fisheries and aquaculture in a country and the other on the market of a product.
