COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is implemented through lectures and practicum activities. The lecture discusses the
biotic and abiotic components, specific characteristics, energy flows, material cycles, productivity,
sampling techniques and analysis of abiotic and biotic data of tropical freshwater (lotic and lentic),
estuary, and sea (intertidal, sub tidal and deep sea) ecosystems. Practical activities include
introducing tools and demonstrating the use of tools for sampling biota and measuring abiotic
parameters of aquatic ecosystems; determine the community structure and abiotic environment of
the river, lake, and the intertidal zone. Data analysis is done using Microsoft Excel and Primer
software. Practical implementation of ecosystem based-case method (EB-CM) in the Bedadung
river, the Ranu Klakah lake, and the interidal zone of Bama Beach Baluran National Park whose
results are presented in the form of reports and power point.

2 If you are unable to attend due to illness or other reasons that can be accounted for, you must
immediately inform the lecturer in charge of the course or through the class coordinator
during lecture hours, bringing a doctor's note or a statement from parents. If there is a quiz or
assignment when they are absent, the student must report it to the lecturer to be able to take
the quiz or supplementary assignment by showing a doctor's letter or a letter from their
parents.
3 Class coordinators are appointed based on mutual agreement and are tasked with coordinating
the smooth running of lectures
4 Remedy will be given to students who meet the minimum attendance requirements, remedial
will be given no later than 1 week before the assessment period ends
