Biology 269 - MARINE ECOLOGY LABORATORY

The laboratory applies concepts discussed in lecture, and uses several small-group projects in the field and laboratory to develop relevant skills for conducting marine-related research. Students will learn to design and analyze experiments, and to write in the scientific style. Field trips to Maine and Cape Cod, MA, provide hands-on experience with marine organisms in their natural habitats. Prerequisite: BIO 268, which must be taken concurrently.
