Term: Semester
Credits: .5
Prerequisite: Biology<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marine Biology is a one semester course that introduces students to marine life, their biological communities, and marine ecology. The class will focus on the physical characteristics of the Earth’s oceans; prominent marine communities and the physical and biological factors that shape their composition; representative marine organisms from major marine ecosystems; environmental science principles that relate to ocean environments, and how humans use biological ocean resources. Students will complete a variety of lab experiences that include observational study of marine organism forms, dissection of select organisms, and other lab activities related to the ocean environment and organisms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
