This is an intensive four-week programme for coastal resources management professionals that provides participants with practical skills to design, implement, and learn from integrated coastal management (ICM) programmes and experiences from around the world. The programme also provides training in non-ICM-specific professional skills that have proven essential to the coastal manager-skills such as communication, facilitation, and conflict resolution. Previous participants range in age from their early twenties to early sixties. Most have advanced degrees in addition to substantial professional experience.
