MB3220 - Ecology and Impact Assessment in Mangrove Ecosystems
| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2005 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: |
The subject covers four major areas relevant to tropical estuarine studies: the physical environmental setting, the biological and ecological responses of plants and animals to the physical regime, the study of stresses and impacts on these systems and the interaction between science and management of tropical coastal marine systems. Emphasis will be placed on the ecological functioning and how hard science can be directed to underpin coherent management of these systems.
Learning Outcomes
- critically evaluate previously published research in the field of tropical estuarine ecology;
- gain an understanding of the current state of knowledge of the patterns and processes occurring within tropical estuaries;
- present written work in a scientific format.
