An Introduction to Marine Biology for Non-Scientists

Join us to study the physical and chemical features of oceans (e.g., tides and salinities) and learn about the estuarine animal and plant communities. We'll examine ecology of rocky intertidal habitats (e.g., U.S. West Coast) and discuss sandy shore communities. Finally, we'll delve into offshore habitats, to include coral reefs and shallow and deep-water organisms.
