Moore, Hughes Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth's surface and are our planet's primary life support system. This course examines adapta-tions and interactions of plants, animals and their environments in marine habitats. Focal habitats include the photic zone of the open ocean, the deep-sea, subtidal and intertidal zones, estuaries, and coral reefs. Emphasis is placed on the dominant organisms, food webs, and experimental studies conducted within each habitat. Laboratories will emphasize primarily fieldwork outdoors in marine habitats where students will gather data for the testing of student-originated hypotheses.
