Marine Science

The book is a compilation of the students efforts in the Fall 1981 course MNS 354R Marine Ecosystems. The course was organized as a student participation exercise. Each student selected or was assigned in pairs to one of the marine ecosystems in the table of contents. The students were required to develop, outline and present before the class, material for a 20 page paper. This included a literature search, preparation of slides and overhead projections, etc. Most students presented two class lectures on their topic. ... The final product is the following material. It has not been corrected, but in some ecosystems a table of contents was added by the Instructor. The final reports were assembled and one copy was distributed to each ecosystem team.
