Guest Lecture at Cal State University Monterey Bay, Graduate Seminar in Coastal Watershed Science and Policy (2006)

In October 2006, CONCUR Principal Scott McCreary presented a guest lecture on his facilitation of the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative Central Coast Project at a graduate seminar at California State University Monterey Bay. His talk examined key process choices made and their relationships to outcomes achieved in the Central Coast study area, which culminated in Fish and Game Commission support for a package of 29 Marine Protected areas. The seminar is the inaugural course in the newly-created Masters of Science in Coastal and Watershed Science & Policy. The program’s aim is to train professionals who can employ sound technology, science, and economics to produce, evaluate, or implement environmental policies affecting the natural or managed systems of the coastal zone extending from watersheds to the continental slope.
