Marine Biology
This course introduces the principles and concepts of marine biology. Topics include chemistry of oceans, tides, waves, oceanic circulation, and currents. We will explore the ecology of pelagic and benthic organisms, including those from rocky coasts, unconsolidated shores, and coral reefs as well as marine invertebrates, fishes, reptiles, birds and mammals. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate understanding of marine life, marine pollution, and conservation.
