Concepts in this course provide a deeper look into the physical characteristics of coral reefs and the interactions between organisms of these ecosystems and their habitat. This course is part of a series in marine ecology which include: Introduction to Marine Ecology, Estuary Expeditions and Coral Reef Connections. Each week students will be assigned a web quest and online classroom discussion to serve as a leaping point for live class discussion and concept exploration.

Marine and environmental science have been passionate pursuits of mine since childhood. I feel that this passion, combined with my education and extensive experiencing developing and delivering quality educational programs, will foster a community of learners who care about our oceans and environment.
