Course Description:
This course provides a non-laboratory based instruction to basic concepts of marine science. Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and other saltwater environments such as estuaries and wetlands. All plant and animal life forms are included from the microscopic picoplankton all the way to the majestic blue whale, the largest creature in the sea—and for that matter in the world. Topics include: astronomy, oceanography (biological and physical), cellular biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, meteorology, molecular biology, zoology, and marine conservation biology.
