Presentation
The Master's degree in Coastal Water is part of the Master's degree in Water Sciences.
It offers theoretical and practical multidisciplinary training in the development, management and protection of coastal and maritime areas. It is based on courses in science, law, geography and economics.
Objectives
The main objective is to train executives, managers of coastlines and seas, based on a scientific foundation and good skills in economics, law and management.
Know-how and skills
The training aims in particular at the knowledge of:
- seafaring and coastal activities (fishing, aquaculture, shellfish farming, etc.)
- socio-economic actors in the coastal area
- the administrative and legislative framework in the coastal and maritime domains
- methods for managing and protecting coastal ecosystems
- Bases for engineering, construction or rehabilitation of coastal or port developments
- specific risks associated with the coastal area
Organization

Terminal assessment or continuous assessment according to the UE
Program
The M1 welcomes 8 scientific students who then join in M2 8 students from the SHS and 8 others from economics.
The courses of M1 are either common to other courses of the Master's degree in Water, or common to the GCL (Coastal and Coastal Engineering) course of the STPE (Earth Sciences) master's course.
In M2, the courses are specific and divided between teachers from the Faculty of Science, MOMA (Montpellier Management) and Paul Valery University (SHS). In addition, there are many external professional speakers.
