MAR 315: Marine Conservation
Undergraduate 3 credits
Prerequisite: BlO 201
DEC: H SBC: ESI; STAS
The fundamental concepts of Conservation Biology, a new synthetic field that incorporates principles of ecology, biogeography, population genetics, systematics, evolutionary biology, environmental sciences, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy toward the conservation of biological diversity. Examples drawn from the marine environment emphasize how the application of conservation principles varies from terrestrial, aquatic, and marine realms.

MAR 373: Marine Apex Predators
Undergraduate 3 credits
Prerequisite: BIO 201 and either BIO 202 or BIO 203
The removal of apex predators is one of the most pervasive impacts of humans on Earth's ecosystems. In the past few decades we have started to recognize how the loss of these species has caused substantial changes in terrestrial ecosystem diversity and function, mediated by changes in prey population dynamics and behavior. It is only recently that we have realized that changes in the abundance of apex predators in the ocean (e.g., sharks, marine mammals, tuna and other large predatory bony fish) may be causing similar changes in coastal and pelagic marine ecosystems. In this course we will (1) review the biology of key marine apex predators, (2) explore how 'top down' processes (predation and intimidation of prey) can influence marine ecosystems and (3) review the status of marine apex predators and how this relates to the current state of ocean ecosystems. We will draw from the primary literature, from both the terrestrial and marine realms, and host outside speakers who study these animals in the field.

MAR 392: Waste Management Issues
Undergraduate 3 credits
Prerequisites: GEO 101 or CHE 131 or ENS/PHY 119
DEC: H SBC: STAS
Conventional and innovative approaches to waste reduction, recycling, and reuse. The environmental impacts of waste on the terrestrial and marine environment are introduced as are the complex social, political, and scientific issues of making sound policy decisions.

MAR 531: Long Island Marine Habitats
Graduate 3 credits
Focusing on six representative marine environments around Long Island, this course emphasizes the natural history of local marine communities, as well as quantitative ecology, hypothesis testing, and scientific writing. Students visit the sites, measure environmental parameters, and identify the distribution and abundance of common plants and animals. Using qualitative and quantitative methods in the field and laboratory, the class determines major factors that control the community structure in each habitat. This course has an associated fee. Please see www.stonybrook.edu/coursefees for more information. Summer, 3 credits, ABCF grading

MAR 532: Marine Protected Areas
Graduate 3 credits
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are parts of the ocean that are zoned to exclude activities that are potentially detrimental to the ecosystem. Marine Reserves are special types of MPAs in which the harvesting of marine wildlife is prohibited. MPAs are rapidly gaining traction worldwide as a tool to preserve or restore ecosystems, protect endangered species, or sustain nearby commercial and recreational fisheries. This course is designed to provide students with a robust background in the science behind the design, implementation, and expected outcomes of establishing MPAs. The course is largely field-based, and will explore MPA-related issues by traveling to one or more MPAs to learn about the challenges, benefits, and limitations of MPAs for marine conservation from local scientists, managers, and rangers.
