This postgraduate course is jointly hosted by the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Department of Marine Sciences, both University of Gothenburg, and gives an overview of tropical marine ecology through lectures, group work and practical field experience at Ilha da Inhaca, Moçambique. During the field course the participants will investigate several aquatic systems such as mangal, coral reefs, seagrass beds, mud- and sandflats and beaches. Through field investigations, group projects and discussions knowledge about taxonomy and ecology of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants, as well as human interactions and conservation issues specific to these systems in East Africa will be taught.
