4.00 Credits
A study of the biological aspects of marine ecosystems along with physical relationships. Students will survey marine plants and animals and the relationships which exists between them and the chemical and physical features of the ocean. Studies of the the various ecosystems which exist in the marine environment including intertidal zones, brackish water, coral reefs, open ocean, and the continental shelf will be used to further students' understanding of these complex relationships. Three lectures and one laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 111 & 112. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the field of conservation biology. The course will include an examination of the historical background and ethical principles underlying the science of conservation biology. Topics to be examined include: biodiversity, patterns and origins of biodiversity, causes and consequences of biodiversity loss, ecological concepts used in conservation management practices, and practical approaches to conserving biodiversity
