BIOL 2130 — - Food from the Sea
Food from the Sea surveys the production, distribution, and consumption of seafood, and the associated environmental, societal, and economic issues. Directly or indirectly, seafood is an important source of nutrition for most of humanity, and is deeply embedded in the social and economic fabric of Rhode Island and New England. Where possible, examples from local fisheries and aquaculture industry will be used. This course is a broad introduction for students interested in any subject relevant to fisheries and aquaculture in the ocean (Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Marine Biology, Marine Affairs, etc.) or nutrition and food sustainability (Nutrition, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems, etc.).
