Have humans explored the deepest depths of our oceans? How do humans use natural resources from the ocean? What marine conservation does to protect our oceans? Find the answers to these questions and many more in "Biological Oceanography: Climate, Currents, Plankton, and More!". We will use our imagination and our...

- Students will engage into marine biology concepts. We will explore different oceanography concepts, the oceans, the seas, food webs, plankton, marine ecosystems and resources and marine conservation. Students will learn how to differentiate the different oceans and seas, they will also learn about food webs and marine ecology, and marine conservation. During the final project the students will apply the learned concepts combined with imagination to create their own ocean.
I am a marine biologist and I have a Master's in Marine Sciences. I am a Scuba Diving Instructor and I have seen most of the creatures I will be sharing my knowledge and passion of with the students. I have a non-profit that promotes marine conservation and education based in Costa Rica.
