Course Goals:  This course emphasizes ecological processes and adaptations that act to structure marine associations and permit their persistence through time. The course provides a brief survey (functional morphology) of the major marine living organisms; then stresses their habitat, adaptation, community structures, inter-species interactions and ecosystem. The course requires a certain minimum background in basic concepts of Marine Biology.

Format and Grading: Designed for either UG (Marine Biology for the 3^rd/4^th undergraduate) or PG (Advanced Marine Biology for post graduate) students with 3 units. Course contents can be modified for students’ background upon request. Weekly 2-hour lecture will be conducted in English plus 1-hour student presentation and discussion. Final grades are based on student’s oral presentation (50%) and final exam (50%).
