| Course Description | This course is about contemporary frontiers in marine biology, which will be presented by researchers that are actively pushing these boundaries. Each researcher will provide several research examples relating to their particular frontier (lectures and reading material) that will form the basis of lively discussion (tutorials). The exact identity of frontiers change as new issues and government priorities arise, hence topics will change frequently but are likely to include the science and politics of marine protected areas, novel approaches to fisheries biology and management, use of marine parasitologists in improving multi-million dollar aquaculture and fisheries ventures, new possibilities in use of molecular techniques, and the emerging crisis of coastal water pollution locally (South Australia) and globally. |
