This specialized Marine Vertebrate Conservation program offers comprehensive study of marine life, their ecosystems, and the intricate food chains sustaining apex predators like marine mammals, fish, seabirds, and reptiles. The curriculum covers fundamental biological concepts, marine science principles, and detailed examination of marine vertebrates' classification, biological functions, behaviors, and ecological relationships. Practical applications include fisheries management, aquaculture practices, conservation strategies, and sustainable tourism. Leveraging our coastal location, the program emphasizes hands-on field studies, including marine expeditions. Third-year studies focus on shark and marine mammal ecology, with training in species identification and survey techniques through both maritime and terrestrial fieldwork.
