The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in marine Vertebrate Conservation is a unique Marine Vertebrate Conservation course in which students will study marine organisms, their habitats and the food web supporting the top predators, including marine mammals, fishes, seabirds, and reptiles. This degree explores the general principles of biology, marine biology and marine science, along with the taxonomy, physiology, behaviour and ecology of marine vertebrates. They will learn about applied aspects of zoology such as fisheries, aquaculture, conservation biology and ecotourism. In the third year, they will learn about shark ecology as well as marine mammal ecology, identification and survey methods, which will involve ship and/or land-based fieldwork.
