Coral Reef Marine Ecology

฿5,170.00

The Coral Reef Marine Ecology Course is an introduction to coral reef ecology, for divers interested in learning how to view the reef scientifically. This one day course is considered a prelude to the full 3 day Ecological Monitoring Program. Upon completing 2 lectures students will conduct one Reef Safari Dive to identify the indicator species that they have selected as their preferred subject. This is followed by collecting actual sample data during the EMP dive, on either Fish species, Invertebrate species or Reef Substrate types.
