Therefore the study of reef ecosystems encourages people to think beyond their own familiar point of view and to consider solutions to complex environmental issues with a global perspective. Methods of marine resources management and the economic value of the reefs in present day Belize are examined. The importance of the reefs in Belizean culture both present and past are studied and experienced. The course will involve a 3-hour in-class planning session in Bedford and 14 days of field work in Belize, Central America. As with all International Studies programs at Middlesex, upon completion of the course students are expected to share what they have learned with the college community.
