| This course introduces students to a new environment that they are not likely to be familiar with – the marine ecosystems of the Scottish West Coast. Students will explore and seek to understand both the marine environment and the culture and people of these coastal areas. It is precisely because the ecosystem, the geography, and the culture are unfamiliar, that we will be able to explore many ideas and concepts with a more open mind, and through diverse perspectives, than might otherwise be the case. We will visit the people and projects involved in marine science and coastal economies, exploring marine diversity and the ecology of different coastlines, stepping back into ecological history to gain a better understanding of the foundations and basic principles of modern ecology. We will also investigate how people are restoring the marine environment and deriving new economic opportunities from it. We will use scientific as well as artistic documentation methods and tools. | |
