TargetThe students will be able to understand the problem of marine pollution,
environmental threats and the harmful effects of marine pollution to marine life,
especially on tropical species.

Coursedescription

This course explores the intersections of marine pollution environmental and healthconcerns in marine life with tropical species as the focus. Emphasis is placed on
marine pollution in context: causes and effects, regulations and enforcement. The
lecture decribes the major issues and challenges in health of marine life. Students
will also attain a basic understanding of the interdependent between marine
pollutants and the health of marine life. Finally, students will have group discussions
and interpreting field observations.
