9. Resident Lecturer in Tropical Coastal Ecology, School for Field Studies
*Isla Solarte, Bocas del Toro, Panama*
**
The central theme of The School for Field Studies (SFS) Panama study
abroad program is “islands as a delicate system,” with emphasis on the
resources of Panama’s spectacular coastal and marine environments.
Students will explore several key interfaces: human and natural systems,
terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and conservation and development. The
goal of this undergraduate study abroad program is to assess the state
of the archipelago’s fragile natural habitats, define the main
environmental issues, and understand the community goals in natural
resource management. Our ultimate goal is to help islanders maintain
balance and harmony between people and nature in this fragile ecosystem.
*Course Overview:*
The Tropical Coastal Ecology is a course that will provide fundamental
knowledge necessary to understand the main ecological processes and
interactions in a fragile marine island ecosystem. Basic ecological
principles will be paired with field observation and measurement to
understand the interdependencies of species, populations, communities
and ecosystems in the coastal and marine environment, and with
particular attention to the management of resources and environments for
consumptive and non-consumptive use.
Our studies will focus on the benthic, neritic, and on-shore coastal
environments of Bocas del Toro with emphasis on coral reef, seagrass,
and beach and intertidal zone, and mangrove habitats. Coastal
terrestrial environments, such as swamps, streams and forest will also
be considered for their interactions with the marine environment. We
will also study the biology, ecology and behavior of important marine
and coastal species in the area. These include the leatherback and
hawksbill sea turtles, reef fish, lobster, and marine mammals. Finally,
we will consider the impact of anthropogenic disturbance and global
climate change to the fragile island ecosystem and the habitats and
species upon which the livelihood and well-being of island residents
depends.
