Reasons from d*************************
As a man living in the archipelago country, I'm compelled to focus on advancing the nation through the maritime sector. At this time, Indonesian Government commenced to place development in the marine, coastal areas and small islands as a main state's project as the construction of ports and marine highway and infrastructure to support marine tourism has started, but, without using any marine spatial planning consideration. I found it gave negative impacts on the use of space such as spatial conflict, the impoverishment of communities in coastal areas and environmental degradation.
Learning the maritime spatial planning science, I oblige myself to study abroad as in Indonesia, this science has not developed, and the experts are still very few. In Indonesia, the application of this science doesn't exist, well proved no marine spatial planning regulation created. In the opposite, China is a nation that is highly developed and competitive in maritime sector showed that it becomes one of the highest state's incomes. By using complete data and spatial information, China manages marine resources in the form of fisheries aquaculture, gas, fishing, ports and others sustainably. Moreover, especially in Xiamen, marine spatial planning has been able to avoid conflicts in the use of space allocation for maritime transport, industrial fisheries, fishing, etc. By replicating the system in Indonesia, I have the plan to improve the life quality of the coastal communities and the environment.
There are the reasons why I have the ambition to continue my studies in Marine Affairs Master Program of University of Xiamen. The degree from the elitist and respected institution offering maritime subject, especially maritime spatial planning is my chance to enrich my knowledge thereby contributes to the marine development, the welfare of the coastal community and the strengthening of the sustainable values.

Program Description
Core course descriptions
* Marine Science and Ocean Uses
Introduction to basic marine processes, selected ocean uses and their policy issues. The course focuses on the interplay of public policy and marine science with an emphasis on implications for policy, such as resources and energy extraction. Students will gain a basic understanding of the topics covered in the main sub-field of oceanography, an understanding of the scientific methodology and knowledge of how oceanographic information is applied in representative public debates.
* Marine Resources Economics
The principles and application of economics to the management of marine resources, and conflicts and problems which arise in the exploitation of marine environments. Particular attention is paid to marine and coastal resources valuation, bio-economic models, environmental issues, marine resource damage assessment, and the management of renewable and non-renewable resources.
After completion of this course, students will understand the causes of the many problems associated with renewable resource exploitation and the multiple uses of the marine environment. They will appreciate the role of economic analysis in framing methods for resolving these problems, and be able to appraise critically practical policy experiences at national and global levels.
* International Ocean Law
This course will examine the principles of international law as they relate to ocean management problems: jurisdiction in zones, such as territorial seas, exclusion zones and the high seas, as well as the problems posed by zonal approaches to ocean-use management.
The course will provide the student with a solid grounding in:
1) the manner in which international ocean law is formulated and developed, and how the international legal system functions.
2) the role of international law as a significant tool for ocean use management;
3) the characteristics and nature of different offshore legal zones as well as the rights and obligations of states in those zones.
* Marine Affairs
This course consists of an interdisciplinary seminar conducted by the Marine Affairs programme faculty supplemented by guest speakers from research institutions, industry and government. It focuses on problems of marine resources development and management at the local, regional, national and international policy level.
The course will introduce many topics in ocean and coastal related fields and challenge students to consider techniques for systematic analysis and decision-making. Through this course, students will broaden their topical knowledge, and develop their understanding of analytical approaches. -
