 Student conducts economic and environmental survey of local boat owners Interdisciplinary PhD
Effective marine conservation and the implications of global change demand interdisciplinary understanding. In response to this need, our graduate education and training will produce a
generation of scientists conversant in the biological, social,
economic, cultural and political
issues of marine conservation and equipped with technical competence in
informatics and communication skills. Our goal is to train
professionals who not only can identify the problems, but who can also
find practical solutions within ecological, social and economic
constraints.

The CMBC interdisciplinary program (formerly known as the IGERT program) builds upon excellence in studies of global change and the marine
environment at SIO with expertise from our partners in economics,
political science, international relations, computer science, business
and science communication to improve conservation of marine
biodiversity in the world's most diverse and threatened eco-regions.
Through research, training and global partnerships, the Center for
Marine Biodiversity and Conservation mobilizes local capacity building
and science-based management tools to achieve a sustainable future for
the world's oceans. CMBC courses, programs and events are open to all students at UCSD.
