Applied Coastal Ecology

3 credits · Undergraduate

Applied Coastal Ecology explores impacts of anthropogenic inputs on structure and function of coastal ecosystems. Through field trips, laboratories and guest demonstrations, students examine ecosystem health, e.g. communities on rocky shores, salt marshes and sandy shores and learn experimental design, principles of environmental assessment and monitoring, and coastal habitat remediation.
