海洋研究所是國內第一所海洋科學教學及研究機構，師資陣容完整而堅強，向來是我國海洋科學研究和教學的領導者，在台灣海洋科學研究發展和人才培育方面，績效卓著，本所畢業生遍布各級學校和研究機構，皆為我國海洋教學研究的中堅。
在海洋的科學研究、技術應用與整合管理日益受到重視的今日，國家對於海洋人才需求孔急，本所投入海洋科學教育和人才培育乃是責無旁貸，由於本所並未設立大學部，因此為了培育本校優秀大學生加入海洋科學研究的行列，除了設立「海洋科學學分學程」外，也推動「領域專長模組」課程，促使大學部學生能有系統地修習海洋科學相關課程，以具備未來進入海洋相關產業或研究專業領域的學養基礎。
本所推動五個領域專長模組，名稱分別為「海洋生態與保育」、「物理海洋理論應用」、「海洋物理觀測技術與資料分析」、「海洋地質與資源探勘」、「海洋技術專長」。這些領域專長模組的設計，主要考慮海洋基礎特色領域的人才培育和國家技術人才需求兩大面向，前者是為了增進大學生對於海洋科學的認識，引導大學生進入海洋科學領域的研究，所設計的領域專長為「海洋生態與保育」、「物理海洋理論應用」、「海洋物理觀測技術與資料分析」等三模組，後者則是因應海洋資源開發和國家高等考試新增之人才需求，所設計的領域專長為「海洋地質與資源探勘」和「海洋技術專長」等兩模組。未來除了繼續增加本所基礎特色領域，也將對於跨領域知識學習與人才培育，以跨系、所、院為目標來組合出專長模組。

Learning Objectives and Outcomes
The ocean is extremely diverse, encompassing a vast array of marine microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, fish, mammals, reptiles, and birds. These marine populations are influenced by environmental factors and interspecies interaction (such as predation). Many marine fish species are subject to commercial fishing, and consequently, human fishing activities can impact fish population dynamics.
This module offers a series of foundational courses in marine biology and ecosystems (7 courses, 16 credits). These courses cover topics such as marine organism classification, species interactions, marine environments and ecology, population ecology, and conservation. Through these courses, students will learn the fundamental principles and research methods of marine ecosystems, enhance their practical research skills in marine biology, and delve into contemporary marine ecological issues. This knowledge and these skills are expected to prepare students for careers in marine ecology-related industries and management, or for integrating other disciplines to maintain the stability and sustainability of marine ecosystems.
