Marine Biology Minor

MBIO1118 Visits to various coastal marine environments studied in MBIO 1128. Identification and experiments on marine organisms to gain an understanding of their ways of life.

MBIO3200 An introduction to the realm of Marine Vegetation. The main objectives are: (1)to teach the student field and laboratory techniques for research on the biology, taxonomy and ecology of marine vegetation; (2)to review the taxonomy and distribution of marine plants, macro-algae, seagrasses, marsh plants and mangroves; and (3)to acquire applied knowledge of the ecology and physiology of marine plants by running field experiments.

MBIO3400 A study of the evolution, reproduction, development, behavior, anatomy, physiology, and ecology of marine invertebrate taxa. The laboratory will include dissections, collections, identifications, and experimentation on tropical marine invertebrates.

MBIO3900 A study of the evolution, reproduction, development, behavior, anatomy, physiology, and ecology of marine vertebrate taxa. The laboratory will include dissections, collections, identifitcations and experimentation on tropical marine vertebrates.
