About
Professor Kenyon Lindeman manages the Sustainability Program in the Department of Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences.
His approach involves conservation science and policy tools used with partners to improve management of coastal systems affected by factors including overfishing, habitat loss, climate change and coastal land use.
Dr. Lindeman has written over 70 science and policy publications and 10 book chapters. He has served on over 30 advisory groups from local to international.
His four co-authored/edited books integrate public, private and non-profit work in the southeast U.S., western Atlantic and elsewhere: "Islands in the Sand: Ecology and Management of Nearshore Hardbottom Reefs of East Florida, Springer Press";
"Ecology of the Marine Fishes of Cuba, Smithsonian Institution Press"; "Living with Florida’s Atlantic Beaches, Duke University Press"; and "Designing Sustainable Urban Futures, Karlsruhe Institute Publishing."
Dr. Lindeman manages one of the few Bachelors of Science programs in Sustainability in the southern U.S., which has produced more than 175 graduates with a sustainability major or minor since 2010.

Sustainability Degree vs. Environmental Science Degree: What’s the Difference?
Peterson's online

This leaves us with environmental science being interdisciplinary among sciences to conclude findings and come up with scientific solutions to environmental issues, while sustainability works across both science and other disciplines to create change in societal structure. But what does this look like from a classroom and training standpoint? “They have similar attributes. If it’s a B.S. program they both will have a solid STEM component,” said Ken Lindeman, Professor of Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences and director of the Sustainability Program at the Florida Institute of Technology.
