| Marine Biology 180 (lecture) and Marine Biology 180L (lab) are secondary level (require a prerequisite) marine science classes offered at Orange Coast College. Both classes focus on the biology and ecology of shallow-water, nearshore marine animals and plants. The lecture class is offered for 3 units and the lab class is 1 unit. The prerequisite for these classes is Marine Science 100 - Oceanography and Marine Science 100L - Oceanography lab. Both classes complement each other and it is possible to take the lecture class without taking the lab class. However, concurrent enrollment in the lecture class or previous completion of the lecture class with a grade of "C" or better is the prerequisite for MS 180L. |
| MS 180 or MS 180L are both being offered for Fall Semester 2007: 1. MS 180 Lecture - Ticket # 1413 - Monday - 9:30 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. - Profssor Lisa Snyder - Bldg D Room 104 2. MS 180L Lab - Ticket # 0441 - Monday - 2:20 - 5:30 p.m. - Professor Joan Backey - Bldg D - Room 104 |

| Focus marine invertebrate of the week - the stalked tunicate-Styela clava. See photo below. This animal is called a "sea squirt" since they filter feed by bring water plus plankton into their bodies and filter the plankton out as they pass through. |
