Learn to understand the underwater nature!

"Ecology is a multidisciplinary branch of biology that studies the interaction of organisms and species with each other and with the inanimate environment around them."

Marine ecology is a broad and exciting topic that easily draws our attention and arouses our curiosity. This course will give you a general understanding of everything related to marine ecology.

In Marine Ecology course you will learn:

Oceans are full of different ecosystems that interact with each other.
The effect of physical elements of the oceans, such as water quality, temperature, salinity, and water movement, on the organisms that live there.
Different natural and human impacts to our oceans.
How people can affect the health, management and recovery of our oceans.

Surprisingly, it is only in the last century that we have begun to understand the importance of our oceans in our daily lives. Although we have modern technology and research capabilities, we have explored only about 5% of the world’s oceans.
