BIOL 232 - Field Marine Ecology

4 Credits

1 Units

Many major ecological concepts have roots in marine ecology and in experiments conducted in the intertidal zone. This course will take students to some of the most diverse coastal areas in North America and allow them to compare and contrast these habitats with the more familiar coastlines of New Jersey. This travel course will be based out of a marine lab along the ocean, exposing students to not only unique habitats but also to a setting where they can conduct a range of laboratory experiments with live marine animals, most of which we could never do here at Moravian. This course will immerse students (figuratively!) in marine ecological research and allows them to design, conduct, and analyze large-scale experiments.
