    63. Biological Sciences
    marine biology is an increasingly important area of study, if for no other reason than the physiology of marine organisms, neurobiology, cell biology,
    http://www.auburn.edu/academic/science_math/biology/ugmajors.html
    Botany and Zoology These two fields of biological science are centered on organism-based studies. Such research ranges from behavioral interactions of individual organisms within populations to the structure and function of complex communities. The primary aim of botanical and zoological studies is to understand how organisms survive and reproduce within the limits imposed by the current or past environments. Such research can be at refined scales, such as microscopic observation of the smallest organisms, to broad scales, such as unraveling earth history through examination of fossil remains. Students focusing on botanical or zoological studies typically receive training in cell biology, anatomy, physiology, embryology, genetics, conservation science, ethology, ecology, and evolution. This background can be used as a springboard to further training in medicine or graduate education. Tracks: A degree in Botany can follow one of two tracks . The track in Cell and Molecular Biology is designed for those interested in using their undergraduate experience for careers in medically-related professions or for a graduate career in medical or molecular sciences. The track in Ecology and Evolution is designed for those interested in graduate training in plant diversity. A degree in Zoology can follow one of four tracks . For those interested in using their undergraduate training for immediate employment, the track in Conservation and Biodiversity is designed to prepare students for jobs in government and private conservation organizations or the environmental consulting industry. Three tracks are offered for those interested in preparing for advanced education. The Cell and Molecular Biology track is designed for those interested in medical-related training (medical or pharmacy school), the Pre-Vet track is designed to prepare students for entry into Vet School, and the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior track is designed for those interested in graduate education.

    SCIENTISTS LAUNCH 'ALIEN' SURVEY IN MISSISSIPPI COASTAL WATERS
    August 30, 2004 OCEAN SPRINGS - Scientists from the northern Gulf of Mexico kicked off a survey of alien species and living resources in Mississippi waters today. Approximately 100 scientists and other volunteers from 29 organizations gathered at the University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Coast Research Laboratory early today for final coordination on handling samples and data before heading out to the largest rapid assessment ever held in the Gulf. In four-days of intense work in the field and in laboratories at the GCRL, members of the Alabama-Mississippi Rapid Assessment Team (AMRAT) will take a "snapshot" of all living organisms that are present in Mississippi Sound and adjacent waters. Their goal is to identify aliens that have taken up residence in the state's coastal waters and to determine how well they are established. "This is a baseline inventory of all living species," said David Yeager, director of the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program. "Not one of our agencies could accomplish this survey alone. By working together, we expect to find out what non-natives are out there so that agencies and organizations can plan for the future." Researchers will be combing the shorelines, sampling the sediments, scraping pilings, seining, diving, and taking to the skies to identify plant and animal species. Once the field teams collect the species, survey teams will identify the materials in labs at the GCRL. Examples of notorious aliens well-known on the Gulf Coast include kudzu, fire ants and the giant Australian spotted jelly that swarmed northern Gulf waters in 2000.

    BACKGROUND
    The Institute of Marine Biology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences was founded in 1967. At the time of the WTEC visit, this organization employed 450 persons (300 research staff and 140-150 engineers and technicians). Within the Institute there are 20 laboratories and an auxiliary services group. In addition, there are four field stations and the Far East State Marine Reserve. Two smaller research vessels support seagoing projects. In addition to the research ships, the institute conducts many dives to collect specimens and to do in situ research tasks. Most of the scientists are divers.

    Enterasys Secure Network Deployed by Leading Marine Science Lab; Marine Biological Laboratory chooses Enterasys' best-in-class security to support VoIP, wireless access and convergence requirements
    ANDOVER, Mass. (Business Wire) Aug. 11, 2005 Enterasys Networks(R) (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks Company(TM), today announced that the world-famous Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Mass., has deployed Enterasys Secure Networks solutions to ensure unmatched security, reliability and performance for its network that supports a large and dynamic population of research scientists and students from around the globe.
    After a rigorous competitive RFP process that included vendors with products currently installed at the Lab, MBL chose Enterasys and its Secure Networks partner Blue Spruce Technologies to replace an infrastructure that had become too complex and unreliable to meet the Lab's current and future organizational goals. MBL selected Enterasys and Blue Spruce to build an infrastructure that could deliver the business continuity and control that was lacking in its existing network. Specifically, the Lab needed to stem the tide of network outages from viruses and worms while providing a high-performance foundation for plans to provide secure convergence of its voice and data networks. MBL also required secure wireless access for researchers in the field.
    "With 52 Nobel Laureates having taught, taken courses, or done research at the MBL, including two of last year's laureates in chemistry, we are a hub for research critical to the advancement of life sciences," said Rob Loyot, IT network manager for the Marine Biological Laboratory. "We need our network to be an enabler of that research, not an impedimentor a threat to its integrity. Enterasys Secure Networks enables us to advance our technical capabilities within the organization and for our researchers, while at the same time significantly increasing security, continuity and control."

    Conserving Biological Diversity Through Marine Protected Areas: A Global Challenge
    By Jack Sobel*
    Scientists believe that off the coasts of the United States, from the frigid ice-scoured waters of the Arctic Ocean to the tropical reefs of the Florida Keys, the West Indies, and the Pacific Islands, there are more kinds of marine plants and animals in more kinds of marine habitats than are found off any other country in the world. A Nation of Oceans
    , descriptive document on the US National Marine Sanctuary Program, 1986 Custody of the world's most biologically diverse marine waters bears with it a special responsibility to protect them. The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP), the only federal program specifically designed to provide comprehensive protection of the nation's extraordinary US marine ecosystems, has excellent potential for conserving their tremendous biological diversity. Since its creation in 1972, the sanctuary program has achieved considerable success, despite extremely limited resources and variable levels of administration support.
    The recent addition of several new and larger sanctuaries brings important challenges and opportunities. In particular, large, new sanctuaries surrounding the Florida Keys and off the Central California coast provide the opportunity to develop truly state-of-the-art protected areas using an integrated coastal management approach. Some progress has already been made, but more is needed. If the Clinton administration recognizes and seizes this opportunity, the US can establish itself as the international marine protected area leader that our outstanding resources merit.
