Description
The purpose of this lesson is to explore the relationship between resource availability and enabling conditions in order to determine a country’s capacity to establish a blue economy. Students will review, test, and visualize aggregate data on 6 ocean sectors and enabling conditions using a large, global data set. Students will be given the opportunity to use R and RStudio, a free, open-access statistical software, to consider how their analysis can inform global conservation efforts.
