An online training course on marine ecosystem management created by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) UNESCO-IOC and IW:LEARN is now enrolling.

The course focuses on large marine ecosystems that occupy areas of coastal ocean at least 200,000 km² or greater in size – coastal waters that produce $12.6 trillion in ecosystem goods and services annually. The course is intended to introduce the mechanisms used for assessment, planning and implementation of multi-sector, sustainable marine management.
