Coastal Institute Asia is an intensive three-week program for coastal 
resources management professionals. It is held at the Asian Institute of 
Technology's (AIT) Bangkok Campus. The Coastal Resources Center at the 
University of Rhode Island has been offering this course biannually since 
1992 and now has over 200 alumni working in 60 countries. The program 
provides mid-career professionals with practical skills to design, 
implement, and learn from integrated coastal management (ICM) programs and 
experiences from around the world - with a focus on the Asian Region.  The 
program also provides training in non-ICM-specific professional skills that 
have proven essential to the coastal manager-skills such as communication, 
facilitation, and conflict management.

This program targets entry and mid-level practitioners working on projects 
related to coastal resources management, and who are seeking an introduction 
to integrated approaches and skills for coastal management.

cover personal expenses. A limited number of partial scholarships are 
available.
