Reviews

Marine Ornithology is the study of seabirds and their interactions with marine environments. This course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the biology, ecology, and behavior of marine birds. Students will explore the anatomy and physiology of seabirds, examining how these adaptations enable them to thrive in marine ecosystems. The course covers various seabird species, their life cycles, breeding habits, feeding strategies, and migratory patterns. Emphasis is placed on the ecological roles of seabirds in marine food webs and their importance as indicators of ocean health.

In addition to biological and ecological aspects, the course addresses the conservation challenges facing marine birds. Students will study the impacts of human activities such as pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change on seabird populations. The course also explores conservation strategies and management practices aimed at protecting seabird habitats and populations. Through lectures, field studies, and laboratory exercises, students will gain practical skills in observing, identifying, and researching marine birds. This course prepares students for careers in wildlife biology, conservation, and environmental science, providing them with the knowledge and tools to contribute to the conservation of seabirds and their habitats.
