4.00 Credits
BIOL 1200. BIOL/MARS 3300 is helpful but not required. (Same as BIOL 3132.) A course that reviews the functional physiology of the major invertebrate groups (primarily annelids, arthropods, molluscs, and echinoderms) and stresses the evolution of adaptation. The topics include endocrinology, respiration, defense, nervous systems, ionic balance, feeding, and perhaps others. There is no laboratory. Faculty: M. LANDAU 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

MARS 2201, ENVL 2100, or GEOL 2101. This provides a complete review of the coastal sedimentary environments from the upland boundary out to the shallow waters seaward of the beach. The course is process oriented dealing with tides, waves, sediment distribution, biologic utilization of environments and storm impacts on the shoreline. Laboratory work will concentrate on field study of various sub-environments and the ecology of life and change each deals with during the advance of time. This course will show Biology majors how the physical environment influences the success of marine species in this region vital to them as well as to the people of New Jersey. Faculty: S. FARRELL 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture/Lab_ Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

4.00 Credits
High School biology, chemistry and physics. Not open to freshmen. Not recommended for non-science majors. A course designed to examine the methods involved in the culture and rearing of aquatic organisms. Attention is paid to physical systems (filtration, aeration, pumps, and fluid dynamics), economic and legal perspectives, history, and biology. Student reports on specific plants or animals are required. Faculty: M. LANDAU 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

4.00 Credits
High school biology and MATH 1100 or equivalent. An introduction to the study of exploited aquatic resources, this course will include a survey of commercially significant organisms, the ecology and management of these organisms, survey methods, fishing and stocking effects, and our efforts in sustaining harvestable yields. Some time is devoted to developing mathematical models. Faculty: M. LANDAU 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

4.00 Credits
MARS 3318. Comprehensive introduction to legislative and scientific aspects of development and use of the coastal marine environment and its resources. Includes a survey of pertinent local, state, and federal legislation and management strategies regulating the coastal zone, wetlands, and estuarine environments and development of coastal marine resources such as offshore oil and gas. Discussion of physical processes affecting the coastal zone such as coastal processes, shoreline erosion and protection strategies, marine resources, and storm hazard. Emphasis on management strategies in New Jersey, including state coastal zoning policies, hazard management, wetlands protection, and federal regulations. Case studies are drawn from examples in the surrounding region. Field experience will accompany and complement classroom study (MARS 3318). Faculty: S. FARRELL 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

1.00 Credits
MARS 3308. Laboratory to accompany Costal Zone Management (MARS 3308). Designed to demonstrate projects along the N.J. Coast having significant impact on the beach. Field work will examine planned/proposed work, projects under construction, and completed projects. Each student will select a project to review and evaluate as to it's positive or negative effects on the beachfront or bay waters. Faculty: S. FARRELL 1.000 Credit hours 0.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department
-
4.00 Credits
ENVL 2200 or BIOL 2100. (Same as BIOL 3330.) Comparisons of coastal habitats. Physical and biological structure and ecological interactions of local and exotic marine shores are studied. Includes fieldwork in local salt marshes, jetties, and dunes, and a term research project. Faculty: C. SLOCUM 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture/Lab_ Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100 and BIOL 1200. (Same as BIOL 3333.) This course provides a comprehensive study of the diverse and unusual biological communities found in the deep sea. Particular emphasis will be placed on adaptations made by deep-sea organisms to survive the extremely hostile conditions found in the cold, dark waters where no sunlight penetrates, and pressure is more than 200 times greater than that experienced by surface organisms. In addition, unique undersea habitats, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents will be covered in depth. 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the causal mechanisms, development, survival value, and evolution of behavior in marine organisms. Biological mechanisms, animal movement, interspecific interactions, social behavior, and reproduction will be investigated for organisms living in the marine environment. 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department
-
4.00 Credits
Formerly MARS 2335 (Marine Plants). An introduction to marine plants. The focus is on algae (large seaweeds and phytoplankton); salt marsh and sea grasses growing in the marine environment are also included. Identification is taught, as are the biological and ecological processes these plants illustrate. Lab and fieldwork are included. Faculty: C. SLOCUM 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture/ Lab_ Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Marine Science Department
