BIO 61 — FIELD STUDIES: COASTAL MARINE ECOSYSTEMS
This field course introduces students to interrelationships among biological communities and the physical environments that characterize coastal marine ecosystems. Topics will include natural history, ecology, and diversity of coastal ecosystems. Introductory lectures complement direct field observations and field experiments. The course is taught primarily in the field. It is intended for both science majors and non-majors. Students are limited to taking four field study courses in life sciences (BIO 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, or 109) for a maximum of 5 units.
