Description:
Through the Internet, students and teachers meet marine biologists studying dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico, archaeologists excavating a 300-year-old French shipwreck and researchers striving to rescue Kemp's ridley turtle from extinction. An Internet newsletter covers subjects such as the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, the La Salle Shipwreck Project, the restoration of a World War II PT boat, cephalopod research, commercial diving, NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab and the wreck of a Civil War blockade runner discovered near Galveston, TX. The site also provides "Question of the Month", "Test Your Knowledge", "Definitions", "Books to Read", and other resources.
