Tasmanian Coastal Ecologies ENV102
Introduction
In this subject, you focus on environmental studies by understanding, recording, and critically reflecting on coastal environments. You are introduced to the skills of field observation, recording, and communicating natural and cultural stories within coastal environments. The unique Tasmanian coast is a naturally dynamic environment that changes with influences of wind, tides, waves, and weather systems. Learning experiences, including practical field trips, develop your knowledge and understanding of the complex relationships in coastal environments. You will establish expertise in safely undertaking a multi-day outdoor environmental studies trip in a coastal environment
