Recent years have provided a glimpse into the diversity of life in the Gulf of Thailand, with dozens of previously unrecorded species and several new to science being documented by ATMEC staff. The Benthic Ecology course aims to combine a holistic introduction to tropical marine ecology and a chance to put students at the forefront of marine exploration by surveying the unexplored. The course offers a chance to study hidden organisms up close and learn about what makes the Gulf a unique environment in the world’s oceans.
