ENV 122 - Coral Reef Conservation Lab
1 CREDIT
Coral reefs are said to be the "rainforests of the ocean", and are one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planet. Their delicate ecological balance and health are affected
by local, regional, and global environmental problems. Therefore the study of reef
ecosystems encourages people to think beyond their own familiar point of view and to
consider solutions to complex environmental issues with a global perspective. Methods
of marine resources management and the economic value of the reefs in present-day
Belize are examined. The importance of the reefs in Belizean culture both present and
past are studied and experienced. The course will involve a 3-hour in-class planning
session in Bedford and 10 to 14 days of field work in Belize, Central America. As with all
International Studies programs at Middlesex, upon completion of the course students are
expected to share what they have learned with the college community.
