Content
In Marine Ecology, you will learn about the features and function of marine systems with particular focus on life histories, dispersal, migrations and populations, communities, ecosystems, landscape ecology, and climate change. In addition, we will highlight how this ecological knowledge can help in the management and conservation of marine resources. The unit will also explore the techniques and methods of undertaking marine ecological research, including experimental and sampling design, data collection, and statistical analysis of data and presentation of research results. Students will participate in a group project to design, execute, analyse and interpret observational and experimental studies of marine animals in field and laboratory settings.
