SIO295S/295LS
INTRODUCTION TO
MARINE BIODIVERSITY, CONSERVATION, & GLOBAL CHANGE
Summer 2016
Goals
(1)
(2)
(3)
To provide students with an introduction to several fields of study in order to help
students with diverse educational backgrounds establish a fundamental skill set;
To ensure that all students have a basic understanding of marine biodiversity,
conservation, and global change through the lenses of natural sciences, economics,
business, governance, ethics, and communication; and
To provide an integrated course to demonstrate the linkages among various disciplines
and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to address global change, marine
biodiversity, and conservation.
Approach
The summer course is an intense 9-week program that includes lectures, labs, discussions, field
trips, and exercises. It includes university faculty members, practitioners, and other experts.
Most topics will be taught in a discipline-specific manner (e.g., economics, biodiversity,
governance, etc.). To enable students to apply discipline-specific topics to an interdisciplinary
problem, student will be required to participate in an interdisciplinary summer project.
Participation
We expect meaningful participation from all students, including participating in class discussions,
as well as completing individual and group assignments. Attendance is mandatory. Class will
usually run from 9 am – 4 pm. However, on some days class will start early or finish late as
noted in the syllabus. Also we have required course work, cruises, and field trips with some
scheduled over weekends. These are mandatory activities, not elective. Please plan accordingly.
Additional information about participation can be found in the SIO Summer Projects and Grading
Handout provided during orientation.
Assignments
Students will have interdisciplinary and discipline-specific assignments that focus on the summer
project theme. For each assignment, the instructors will evaluate both the students’ ability to
communicate effectively and their substantive knowledge of the material covered. Part of the
course will include a project that spans the length of the summer. The project provides a
mechanism for students to apply what they have learned in an interdisciplinary fashion. Students
will work individually and in groups.
The assignments serve three purposes: (1) they provide the instructors a mechanism to evaluate
individual students; (2) they provide students a way to apply what they have learned to a specific
problem; and (3) they provide students an opportunity to use different communications skills.
Additional information about specific assignments can be found in the SIO Summer Projects and
Grading Handout.
Summer Project Theme - Seafood Security & the California Current
Students will focus on issues related to the California Current large marine ecosystem,
considering the ecological, economic and social factors that influence the health and function of
these systems and how this relates to food security through wild fisheries and aquaculture

Course Evaluation
Weekly course evaluations are required and should be considered an assignment due every
MONDAY by 9:00 a.m. The information is used to determine how best to improve the course the
following year. All evaluations are anonymous. We encourage you to voice your opinion and
provide constructive and respectful criticism. Evaluations are conducted through “Survey
Monkey.” In addition you will receive an email request from the university at the end of the
course to complete an on-line evaluation. This will include the overall course and key faculty
evaluations (Sandin, Rouse, Smith) that are used by the institution for academic review.
Location
Lectures are held in 4500 Hubbs Hall. Labs are held in 3300 Hubbs Hall unless otherwise
instructed.
Breaks
In general, 20-minute breaks are scheduled in the morning and afternoon with a one-hour lunch
break, typically 12:00 - 1:00 pm. If the instructor fails to break, please remind him or her.

Preparation for Thurs 7 July
How do you make conservation and management climate savvy?
We'll spend the afternoon consider how climate change will affect Seafood Security & the
California Current region, and, more importantly, developing approaches to reduce that
vulnerability through. To do this, bring with you to class a conservation plan or management
challenge that you care about, related to seafood security, sustainable fisheries, or the California
Current. We will be working in 5-6 small groups that will each agree on a common topic for their
group to explore collectively, so feel free to gather a group of classmates and bring the same
topic so you can be a small group. To support this group exercise, bring maps, brief descriptions
(bulleted key goals or activities being undertaking), pictures, whatever you feel would be
valuable information for describing or exploring the conservation challenge. The goal is to make
the work we do in the afternoon as relevant to your interests and career (academic and
professional) as possible.
You will not have to formally present any of the homework, but it will be useful for the afternoon
exercise where you will work to develop a climate change "adaptation" strategy as a group and
give a short presentation to the rest of the class.
