We will specifically concentrate on the stewardship, conservation, and restoration of these systems in light of the multiple assaults associated with global climate change that impact these systems and put them at risk of complete collapse. This includes reviewing the most critical issues in tropical marine biodiversity, resource sustainability, ecosystem resilience, and global change biology. Three (3) Lecture
