Marine Biology

An introduction to life in the World's oceans and seas from a global, ecological and evolutionary perspective. You will study marine habitats, food webs, biodiversity, ecological processes, functional biology, adaptations of marine organisms, and human impacts on marine life (fisheries and environmental impacts). This course will address the issues raised by United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 14 “Life below Water”. Students will learn how we can conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources if the appropriate action is taken and measures are put in place to protect these incredibly diverse and valuable ecosystems.
