This course focuses on how the marine environment works and how it can be better managed. This requires a thorough understanding of the way plants, animals and micro-organisms function in marine ecosystems (including estuarine, coastal, oceanic and coral reef ecosystems and Antarctica), as well as the skills required to detect and assess detrimental impacts on these marine environments resulting from anthropogenic sources and climate change.
The course has a strong practical and field-based focus. Students learn important concepts and skills through a combination of theory, laboratory and real-world experience via field trips to a range of marine environments.
