The course
describes tropical coastal ecosystems with particular reference to the wider
Caribbean. Selected ecosystems will be examined and analysed to illustrate the
organisms, the abiotic conditions which characterize the ecosystem.
Interactions between the adjacent ecosystems will be investigated and
demonstrated. At the end of this course students will be well prepared to
investigate the characteristics of, and predict and mitigate changes in,
coastal ecosystems.
