Course Overview

This course offers a balanced, stimulating survey of marine ecology, introducing the key processes and systems from which the marine environment is formed, and the issues and challenges which surround its future conservation. In general, we will meet 2 hours (Mon 13:20 - 15:10) every week, but occasionally we may watch documentary on the 3rd hours. For the week 8 and 10, instead of meeting in the classroom, we will spend half day in Mangrove ecocenter and full day in NMMST to discuss the course materials and to explore the environment.
