對台灣海洋生物及生態現況有基本了解。並且配合野外實習與調查可以讓學生接觸到實際的海洋生物。透過教師的課程介紹及野外講解，可以讓學生清楚了解海洋生物與人類之間的關連，進而關心海洋生物環境。課程分別由卓逸民老師、溫國彰老師共同執行。
主要課程活動會在五月或六月利用星期五、六、日三天，前往墾丁進行海洋生物（脊椎與無脊椎動物）觀察，並且探索附近海洋生態系，如墾丁珊瑚礁及海草床、嘉南地區紅樹林生態系、河口生態系等。
因此修課同學盡可能排開星期五的課程抑或是需要在出野外那週五向其他課程請假，出野外前，將會在游泳池進行浮潛訓練及野外調查模擬。

Have a basic understanding of the current status of marine life and ecology in Taiwan. And combined with field internships and surveys, students can come into contact with actual marine life. Through teachers’ course introductions and field explanations, students can clearly understand the relationship between marine life and humans, and then care about the marine biological environment. The courses are jointly conducted by teachers Zhuo Yimin and Wen Guozhang respectively.
The main course activity will take three days in May or June to go to Kenting on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to observe marine life (vertebrates and invertebrates) and explore nearby marine ecosystems, such as Kenting’s coral reefs and seagrass beds, the mangrove ecosystem in the Jianan area, and the estuary ecosystem, etc.
Therefore, students taking the course should try their best to schedule classes on Friday or ask for leave from other courses on the Friday when they go out into the field. Before going out into the field, they will conduct snorkeling training and field investigation simulations in the swimming pool.
