Coastal Development Impacts on Tidal Creek Ecosystems

Course No. C-3026

Credit: 3 PDH

Course Fee: $86.85 Purchase course

Subject Matter Expert: Donna C. Rona, P.E., PhD

Overview

The coastal zone has seen many changes over the past few decades, as humans have built homes and recreational facilities to take advantage of mild climates and desirable life styles. Development has increased from a few cottages and boat ramps to entire communities, parks and resorts – with the infrastructure that accompanies this growth. The coastal zone is a complex environment with a vital estuarine ecosystem that serves as nursery to many food resources, as well as a filter system for water quality. Tidal creeks are an integral part of the estuarine ecosystem and have been proven to act as a sentinel – giving early warning information that can be used to assess and forecast the impacts of land use changes. These changes have immediate and long-term impacts on the health and well being of the estuarine and coastal ecosystems, including fisheries as well as human health and safety.

To receive credit for this course, the student must pass a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions.

 

Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Know the important characteristics and functions of tidal creek ecosystems
  • Working knowledge of basic vocabulary describing watersheds, pollution sources, and the measurements used in monitoring tidal creek ecosystems
  • Understand the interaction between ground cover and pollutant loads in tidal creek ecosystems
  • Recognize patterns of change in human use of coastal regions and the changes in impacts on coastal ecosystems
  • Identify methods used to monitor and model the changes in tidal creek ecosystems
