Applied Coastal Ecology

3 credits · Undergraduate

Coastal Ecology explores anthropogenic impacts on the 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 will learn basic experimental design, principles of environmental assessment and monitoring, and coastal habitat remediation.
