The rationale for this course is that human values are as important as ecological values. Human problems arise in determining who decides what the desirable condition for an ecosystem is, how and when that condition is to be attained, and how economic, social, and cultural values will be affected and mitigated, where possible.

FISH 540-Wetlands Restoration
3 credits
Contact: Dr. Caren Crandell
crandell@u.washington.edu
This course contains modules covering wetland science, restoration ecology, freshwater restoration, coastal restoration, and monitoring/maintenance. The emphasis is on the science of wetland ecosystems and the applied ecology/practice of restoration, with additional consideration of cultural and socio-political contexts. Extensive readings, an assignment, and a study guide are required for each module. Students apply their learning in and contribute relevant professional experience to weekly online discussions. Students are also be responsible for obtaining documentation of at least one wetland restoration site in their region and conducting a site visit in order to evaluate the success of the restoration project. A final exam (re-design of a failed restoration project) is administered online, with partial credit earned through discussion with an interdisciplinary team of classmates and partial credit earned through individual analysis and synthesis.
Pre-requisites include basic biology and chemistry and ecology. Restoration Ecology is recommended. |
