The course in looked how the ocean (structure), and to play a role (function), why that destroyed Learn etc. (damage/pollution) in the domestic case, it looks at the human efforts to preserve and restore the sea. Take the Journey is passing by bio lively form of domestic ocean and marine ecosystems scene to illuminate the human activities along with various scientific knowledge related to the sea. On the other hand it is also the culture of interdisciplinary thinking about the flow of the discussion by the international community over the political and territorial efforts to protect the sea and so on.

A fundamental understanding of biological oceanography in terms of ecosystem structure and function in marine environment, topics include marine environment and organism, ecosystem interaction, benthic-pelagic ecosystem, and marine resources and pollution. Field activities followed by laboratory exercise focusing on classification of various marine organisms will be highlighted.

Advanced understanding of marine benthic environments followed by analysis of benthic community responses on environmental changes and stresses, topics include habitat characteristics on the intertidal zones, focusing on the association of benthic community structure and function to corresponding habitats. General mathematical and statistical tools for the interpretation of marine benthic responses to environments will be highlighted.

Advanced understanding of backgrounds and methodologies on sediment assessment towards ecological stability and ecosystem health, topics include exposure, effect, and ecological assessment. Through the case studies, we will clarify the theoretical and practical methods of approach to the objects, items, methods, and criteria for the evaluation. We will finally discuss the possibilities of applying such practices into our system.
