Marine Environmental Science

The environment has been degrading at an alarming rate mainly due to unsustainable development and unsustainable use of natural resources. Although environmental conservation has developed significantly over the past couple of decades, environmental problems have been evolving both in terms of nature and scale. Ways to resolve many environmental problems remain controversial.
