Chapter 4 Objectives:
1. To study the biology of marine anthophytes, namely seagrasses, marsh grasses, and mangroves.
2. To introduce plant-dominated marine communities, including the diversity and structure of each community.
3. To introduce the major groups of nonvascular algae (AKA seaweed) in the sea.
4. To study the biology of algae, namely morphology, reproduction and life cycle variation.
5. To compare and contrast species diversity and ecology of Pacific and Atlantic kelp beds.
6. To describe the problem of sewage sludge dumping in shallow coastal waters.
7. To examine the geographical distribution of marine plants.
8. To compare seasonal patterns of primary productivity in different regions of the world.
9. To describe methods of estimating global primary productivity.
