I approached the Global Certificate Course in Ocean Governance (Advanced) with a mix of excitement and trepidation, given my background in environmental policy. As a student from the United Arab Emirates, I was keen to explore the intersection of ocean governance and regional dynamics. The course provided a thorough introduction to the key concepts, frameworks, and institutions involved in ocean governance. I appreciated the attention to detail and the use of relevant case studies, such as the analysis of the Abu Dhabi Marine Protected Areas. While some topics felt a bit dry at times, the overall quality of the course materials and the instructor's expertise made for a satisfying learning experience. I'm pleased to have gained a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding ocean governance and feel more confident in my ability to contribute to policy discussions in this area.
