| Synopsis |
This is one of the best ocean sites on the web.
This site provides an abundance of information as well as a number
of great resources so you can get even more information. 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.

| Synopsis |
This interesting and unusal site was created by
a group of students (K-12) who are on board a ship traveling to
numerous coral atolls. They are maintaining this site with sections
on their initial proposal, their daily log, a chart room (with great
scientific information), a tool bin, and much more! This site is
a blast -- you can learn all about people on a grand ocean adventure!
