This training program offers an agile learning pathway for individuals who wish to develop specific skills in sustainable marine ecosystems through a multidisciplinary, practical and integrated approach, as well as to deepen their understanding of marine ecosystems to understand their functions, benefits and main threats.

It is aimed at managers, civil servants, professionals, graduates, postgraduate and professional training students with a background in environmental studies.

This micro-credential includes 4 courses in online format (asynchronous virtual teaching modality), complemented by the development of a Final Program Project (synchronous virtual teaching modality), directed by researchers from the Environmental Hydraulics Institute of the University of Cantabria. This hybrid teaching modality will facilitate very practical learning on methodologies, procedures and tools applied to the conservation and sustainable management of marine and coastal ecosystems in a context of climate change.
