| Provides information about coral reef ecology and protection, and related scholarly and environmental conservation activities. | ||
| The Sea Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor Project aims to understand the earth's behaviour and evolution by looking at it from space, and to gather quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties. Colour satellite images of plankton blooms, chlorophyll concentrations, coral reefs, and hurricanes are available, as well as technical reports and a teacher's section. | ||
| Group aiming to increase public awareness and appreciation of aquatic plants, fish, and reef animals by coordinating displays, collections, and applied research. Houses an online magazine called Reef Aquarium Farming News which is published monthly to document progress made at GARF. | ||
| Organisation which promotes the conservation of coral reefs, conducts an education and public awareness program, and builds partnerships with governments, divers, conservationists, and local people. Offers examples of the group's work, information on how to get involved, instructions for making donations, diver reports, and a photo gallery of reefs throughout the world. | ||
| Report discussing the sensitivity of coral reefs to long term climate change, and information about resultant bleaching and subsequent mortality in excess of 70% in some areas of the world. | ||
| Introductory information on fish, coral reefs, inter tidal areas, open ocean environments, marine mammals and conservation issues. Includes an introduction to the complexities of over-fishing and El Nino, with background information on global weather anomalies. | ||
| Association aiming to overcome the coral reef crisis by implementing mapping and monitoring of US coral reefs, research into reasons for their decline, prevention of further degradation caused by pollution and overfishing, and by enforcing effective conservation strategies. Provides access to full text documents including national action plans, executive orders, and task force meetings. | ||
