There are amazingly beautiful and educational graphics and movies. With numerous Emmy Award winning members of their team, this group provides a wealth of knowledge and experience. There are four or five different sections with a range of information from ocean movies to lessons for teachers (which are wonderfully detailed and thought out) to books, magazines, art and more. This is a site worth devoting some time to. |

Synopsis This site contains pictures and movies from a fish-eye-view cam. These cameras are used by marine biologists to study, for the most part, slow moving marine animals. This particular camera is located in Coral Gable, Florida. This site provides great graphics from pictures and movies pulled from the cameras. It also contains some great scientific information not only on the cameras and the project itself, but also on the marine life we can look at within their site. |
