About the Course

This course is about life in the oceans, from the sunlit surface to the inky depths, from microscopic phytoplankton to the great blue whale. The ocean is among the world’s most inhospitable environments for scientific research, which is why we know as much about the surface of the moon as we do the bottom of the sea. This course uncovers the evolutionary history of marine organisms, adaptations to life in water, the behavior and functional morphology of sea animals, interactions between species, and current threats. Throughout the course, we meet scientists who are developing ingenious solutions for overcoming challenges and are making remarkable discoveries. By evaluating these cases and analyzing real scientific data, we come to understand some of the ways that life has adapted to diverse ocean habitats, how it interacts with the physical environment and with other organisms, and why it matters to us....

I really enjoyed this course. I think it was a good blend between essays and videos, and provided an in-depth dive into various fields in Marine Biology, and overall was very informative.

I learned many things about Marine biology and its different aspects. Now, with the certificate, I can use it to study abroad and get into marine biology courses.

This class covers essential parts of the marine world. It also teaches techniques used by scientists to do the work, and their effort to conserve marine grounds. I wish the class had more chapters, covering areas such as animal classes,their habitat in the sea,genus, their food intake, and lifestyle,etc. Togther with more information about ocean plants beside the coral reefs. Maybe, this could be cover in a part 2,I feel that I learned a lot, but I also feel that there are many areas left uncovered.

It was good, it had a lot of information but it's kinda hard to understand and it would be a lot better if they added more videos and things other than text.
