You learn how crucial biodiversity is to the operations and resilience of natural ecosystems and to the benefits we get from the sea, such as natural climate regulation and food. You have opportunity to consider how animals and plants modify or interact with their local environment. For instance, we examine how sea bird foraging is governed by seabed landscapes and currents and we discover how plankton in the southern ocean are linked to global climate and the carbon cycle. In a four-part practical series, you use a large dataset to explore whether coral reef bleaching moderates fish populations. You produce graphical and analytical outputs from this work to create your own scientific poster, which you eventually present in a \u2018mini poster conference\u2019.

Man's impacts on teleost fishes through habitat destruction, climate change, fisheries-induced evolution, ecosystem shifts, pollutants and invasive fish species will also be reviewed.
