ScienceAn overview of the physical and biological structure of our southern New England coastline and the factors, including humans, which act on it. Particular emphasis will be given to consideration of the processes which shape the shoreline and to the biology and ecology of the most significant organisms of coastal communities such as salt marshes, sand dunes, rockshores and beaches. There will be several field trips to study local examples of the features and communities discussed. Prerequisite: One year of high school laboratory science or one semester of college laboratory science, preferably biology. Two class hours and one three-hour recitation lab. Instructional Support Fee applies4 credits Fall

1.00 Credits
AquacultureThis course will serve as an introduction to the science of aquaculture, with heavy emphasis on the understanding of water as an environmentally and economically important factor. Topics will include a general overview of the history of aquaculture, the requirements of the typical species cultured in New England, and an investigation into aquaculture as an entrepreneurial opportunity. The class will meet once a week for five weeks. Three class hours a week. 1 credit Fall, Spring; Weekend only

AquacultureThis course will introduce the student to the skills and techniques necessary for a basic competency in the science of aquaculture. These skills include mathematical computations, graphing, data recording and analysis, as well as the presentation of a laboratory report. Students will learn the history of aquaculture, become familiar with finfish, shellfish, and aquatic plants which are involved in culture, and the subtle differences between aquaculture and mariculture. Students will also investigate two types of aquaculture systems: the recirculating system and the pass-through system, and will become proficient in the operation and maintenance of these systems. Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in high school Algebra I or in MTH in or permission of the instructor. High school biology and chemistry recommended. Two class hours a wee k.Instructional Support Fee applies2 credits Fall, Spring; evening/Weekend only
