Description: Das Projekt "Nachhaltige Nutzung und Erhalt tropischer Kuestenoekosysteme in Mesoamerika (COSTA)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Zentrum für Marine Tropenökologie an der Universität Bremen durchgeführt. Assess, then conceptualize and initiate graduate education and associated research programmes in tropical marine environmental sciences in order to strengthen the capacity of this field in Mesoamerica (Central america, Mexico, and the Caribbean) with emphasis on integrated coastal zone management. The programme should yield basic elements and infrastructure to allow cooperation between the universities of the network, knowledge about the various academic programs, planning of future inter-regional post-graduate programs and mutually acknowledged degrees (Masters and Doctorates), conduction of a pilot post-graduate course, and define structures and capacity for future associated research programmes of the network universities. Primary working goals. - Evaluate the existing teaching and research capacity in the fields related to Integrated Coastal Zone Management issues for the Mesoamerican region. - Restructure one or several regionally focussed new graduate programmes on ICZM consisting in core courses that are interchangable between the network institutions, including an inter-institutional system of quality control. - Strengthen the interdisciplinary nature of the graduate programmes (Sociology, Bio-Economics, Management, Systems and Conservation Ecology, Modelling) - Design an exchange system for students between the network institutions, that allows studying some months at a foreign network institution, as well as a system of exchange of lecturers. - Establish administrative interaction mechanisms facilitating the conduction of the various teaching and research programmes, such as electronic mail, translation services, exchange of teaching material and publications, and . edition of a COSTA newsletter. - Define and carry out a pilot course programme for current masters and doctoral students. - Develop international and regional research proposals on development of integrated coastal zone conservation and management according to the structure of a pilot project being developed in Golfo Dulce (activity to be conducted in connection with sub-programme B2). - Define needs of human resources and infrastructure to strengthen and develop the existing and new teaching and research programmes.
