EDx has a new course online from September 2015. I think this is very interesting for everyone who wants a little more in depth knowledge about the reefs we are trying to build in our tanks.

Would be nice if some of the reefcentral members who would follow the course let this know on this thread.
About this Course
Do you want to develop the skills and knowledge needed to help preserve tropical coastal ecosystems? These habitats provide goods and services for hundreds of millions of people but human activities have led to their global decline. TROPIC101x will introduce you to the incredible plants and animals that create these unique ecosystems. You will go on to explore the challenges these ecosystems are facing such as overfishing, coastal pollution, ocean warming and acidification. Lectures will be delivered by world-leading experts and you will have the opportunity to become a citizen scientist and take part in virtual ecology projects. Course content was specifically developed at the University of Queensland's research station on Heron island. Join us on an exciting journey as you develop new knowledge and skills during this innovative and engaging course!
