Campamento de verano sobre ecología marina y nuestros océanos: clases en curso

In this on-going course, we will learn about Marine Ecology and Our Oceans. What are the Ocean's most diverse environments? What are the interactions amongst species? Why keystone species are very important for life on our blue planet? Have humans impacted the Earth and the oceans? How do animals behave and why? What does marine and terrestrial conservation do to protect our oceans and planet? Find the answers to these questions and many more in "Marine Ecology and Our Oceans". 

My classes offer a unique opportunity to participate asking or answering questions and discussing different topics that we will see in each class. Participation is optional and students can use the chat too. 

I will share my own presentations, videos, photos and my own experience as a marine biologist and scuba dive instructor. 

My classes are designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity. There are no prerequisites for this class.
