The Fisheries and Marine Institute (MI) of Memorial University organized an ecotourism cruise that brought together students, faculty and industry on Friday, March 18.
Students and instructors from MI’s Integrated Coastal and Ocean Management (ICOM) advanced diploma program boarded the Coastal Explorer at the Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club on Friday, March 18 and took part in a plankton tow conducted by Coastal Connections and led by Captain Jan Negrijn.
The experience demonstrated the importance of the marine environment in the ecological process and its importance for tourism development, according to Joy Blundon, an instructor with the ICOM program who accompanied the students on the Coastal Explorer.
“This fieldtrip was a hands-on experience for the students,” said Blundon. “The students were given an opportunity to meet and interact with a business operator in his place of business and the classroom was our ocean environment.”
Nine students from the ICOM program boarded the Coastal Explorer, joining Blundon and other Marine Institute personnel.
“This expedition was an excellent opportunity to witness first-hand the benefits of at-sea training for students,” said Blundon. The advanced diploma in Integrated Coastal and Ocean Management studies a wide array of industry sectors, including tourism. The program is comprised of two 13-week terms, one six-week technical session and a work term placement. Students explore ecological, human and socio-economic factors, strengthen their critical thinking and applying their knowledge in the field.
In order to enter the ICOM program, students must be a university graduate, have graduated from a three-year diploma of technology program or have sufficient relevant work experience in a discipline related to research, development and/or administration of the coastal zone.
“This program focuses on the bio-ecological, socio-economic, cultural and technological elements of coastal zone development and management,” said Blundon. “Students gain an integrated view of the issues and alternative solutions to conflicts that may arise from multiple uses of coastal zones.”
