In this guided review, you will learn about marine debris and its impacts on humans and the environment. This review seeks to outline the origins, pathways, and studies surrounding marine debris. In the following resources you will find information about the consequences of marine debris as well as the strategies being developed to mitigate its impacts.

Students will explore the origins and consequences of marine debris. They will illustrate the journey of a piece of discarded plastic and the events that occur as it enters a waterway. They will examine the data that reveals the pervasive impact it is having on water and widlife throughout the world. They will also propose possible solutions to curb marine debris.

In this guided review, you will learn about the ecosystem services provided by wetlands and uncover the impacts of urbanization. This review seeks to outline the potential ramifications of urbanization on wetland habitats and highlight the possible routes to creating more equitable and sustainable communities through responsible development practices.

Students explore stakeholder perspectives, the consequences of the loss of wetlands, and possible alternatives to the destruction of these valuable resources

In this course you will develop an understanding of how humans have shaped coastal land loss, the impacts of land loss on coastal communities, and potential solutions for those it affects

Students explore the causes of coastal land loss and possible solutions for coastal towns, like Phoenix, LA and nearby communities.

In this guided review, you will explore the fundamental concepts of climate change, the role humans have played, and the consequences human populations are already beginning to face

Students explore the choices communities face as they grapple with the effects of climate change in this five-day introduction to climate change and migration.

Seagrass provides food and shelter for many organisms, and are a nursery ground for commercially important prawn and fish species. The high primary production rates of seagrasses are closely linked to the high production rates of associated fisheries.

Since the time of the dinosaurs, four groups of flowering plants (angiosperms) colonised the oceans. Known as 'seagrass', they are the only flowering plants that can live underwater. More closely related to lilies and gingers than to true grasses, they grow in sediment on the sea floor with erect, elongate leaves and a buried root-like structure (rhizome).
