Aquatic ecology: environmental promotion and species identification

In aquatic ecology, ponds, standing waters and ponds, groundwater bodies, watercourses and lakes that have no connection to the sea, i.e. any form of inland water, are investigated. Limnology, as this science is known, is primarily concerned with the energy and material balance of ecosystems, their structures and functions. People working in public administration, planning or ecological offices in particular are often confronted with the topics of water ecology, water protection, nature conservation, water monitoring and species protection in their day-to-day work and should have a sound knowledge of these areas.

The CAS Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants and Algae certificate course deals in detail with the underwater flora of watercourses and still waters such as lake shores and ponds and is ideally suited as an in-service training course in this area. This course has a modular structure and takes 18 months to complete. A final thesis, which is made up of Module 1 (bioindicators) and Module 2 (species knowledge), awards you the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Phytobenthos if you pass.

During the first module, you will be introduced to some aspects of aquatic ecology, which will train you in the individual methods for examining and analyzing watercourses and standing waters, as well as in the ecology and systematics of macrophytes, macroalgae and diatoms. Module 2 deals in detail with the species knowledge of macroalgae and diatoms, macrophytes, lichens and mosses. With this knowledge acquired in the aquatic ecology course, they are then able to independently apply, analyze and present recognized methods of bioindication in order to preserve biodiversity in our waters and initiate species protection programs or environmental impact assessments.

Questions and answers

The CAS Phytobetnos - Aquatic Plants and Algae comprises three modules, whereby the third module, the final thesis, is without attendance days. The other two modules, species knowledge (14 attendance days with 6 ECTS) and bioindication (7 attendance days with 4 ECTS) can also be attended independently of the certificate course in aquatic ecology. For the Species Knowledge module, it is also possible to register exclusively for courses on individual groups of organisms (algae, macroalgae; diatoms; macrophytes; lichens and mosses), provided there are sufficient places available.

With the continuing education, further training in aquatic ecology as CAS Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants and Algae, participants acquire extensive skills in the application of bioindication methods, the implementation of up to moderately difficult species determinations and the assessment of standing small water bodies and watercourses with regard to their biological status.

The Certificate of Advanced Studies CAS Phytobenthos takes place over a period of 18 months with a total of 21 days of attendance. This continuing education, further training in aquatic ecology usually takes place on Fridays and Saturdays, but not weekly. Please contact the relevant University of Applied Sciences directly for the exact dates.

As a layperson with a sound basic knowledge of water bodies, you can also participate in the CAS Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants and Algae if you have no professional experience in nature conservation, species protection, water protection, aquatic ecology, water monitoring or education. However, each individual application for participation in the course will be reviewed by the course management. If you have any questions, please use our contact form to get in touch directly with the right contact person and let them know your concerns.

The educational program on aquatic ecology is a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) course offered by the ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences of the Department of Life Sciences and Facility Management. The CAS Phytobenthos - Aquatic Plants & Algae is a specialized continuing education course that provides specialists with practical training
