An exploration of the interactions among chemical exposure, toxicity to individual organisms, and effects on ecosystem structure and function. Mechanisms of toxicity will be linked to effects at different levels of organization up to the level of the ecosystem, using case studies to explore the complexities of exposure and response. NOTE: Field Trip (Local Harbour or Marina): estimated cost $30. (3.0 credit units) Exclusion: ENSC 425
