Marine Biodiversity
Course Number:

Course Description:
An understanding of their biodiversity underpins the assessment and management of marine ecosystems. For those engaged in the prediction and assessment of anthropogenic impacts on marine and coastal environments the taxonomic skills related to the classification of marine biota and the ability quantitatively describe their biodiversity is critical. ZOOL2001 Marine Biodiversity will provide students with a sound understanding of the taxonomy of Australian marine life. The main marine botanical and zoological phyla will be investigated from a taxonomic stand-point. Students will use traditional and current to quantitative methods of describing and measuring biodiversity and assess their use in modern, scientific assessment of the impacts of anthropogenic activities in coastal and marine environments.
