• BIOL 2300: Tropical Biology

  4.00 Credits

  Roane State Community College

  
  This course will provide an introduction to the biology on a selected tropical location. No previous knowledge of marine science is assumed or required. A variety of marine ecosystems will be used to develop an understanding of the scientific principles and processes that are basic to all forms of life in and around the sea. These ecosystems will include, but are not limited to, sea turtles, mangrove forests, coral reef communities, bioluminescence, and marine microbiology . Students may also gain specific job-related skills such as advanced SCUBA certification, Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Enriched Air SCUBA certification, the PADI Coral Reef Specialty certification, as well as research skills which could possibly assist them in securing employment in the marine science industry.
