NOAA Ocean

One of every six jobs in the United States is marine-related and over one-third of the U.S. Gross National Product originates in coastal areas. The ocean is key to transportation, recreation and its resources may hold the cures to many diseases.

NOAA protects, preserves, manages and enhances the resources found in 3.5 million square miles of coastal and deep ocean waters. NOAA's National Ocean Service provides products, services and information that promote safe navigation, support c... [More]

A Lone Voice Crying in the Watery Wilderness

And speaking of whales, here is a story of whales speaking - or more precisely, one whale, with its own, distinctive 52-hertz voice.

In 1989, a team of WHOI biologists first detected an unusual sound in the North Pacific Ocean. It had all the repetitive, low-frequency earmarks of a whale call, but at a unique frequency - 52 hertz - far higher than the normal 15-to-25-hertz range of blue or fin whales. They recorded it again in 1990 and 1991.

DARWIN

DARWIN is a software system which allows marine scientists to maintain information for the study of various behavioral and ecological patterns of bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus. The software provides a graphical user interface to access a collection of digital dorsal fin images along with textual information which describes individual animals as well as relevant sighting data. Users may query the system with the name of a specific individual or the entire collection may be sorted and vi... [More]

Ocean Citations - SeaWeb

Every year an enormous amount of marine science research is published in hundreds of scientific journals. A listing of those articles dealing with the causes and effects of marine and coastal environmental change is presented and continually updated here. SeaWeb also distributes weekly listings via email of recent articles and other publications in our Marine Science Review.

Marine Biology research at MBARI

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) was founded in 1987 by David Packard.

To carry out its mission, the institute has defined six main goals:

- Identify important areas of marine science where research progress is limited by lack of appropriate technology.
- Develop sophisticated systems for investigating aspects of the marine environment and its inhabitants where high scientific potential exists.
- Meet the highest possible performance standards ... [More]

World Resources Institute

The World Resources Institute is an environmental think tank that goes beyond research to create practical ways to protect the Earth and improve people’s lives. The mission is to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth’s environment for current and future generations.

UNEP’s World Conservation Monitoring Centre

The United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) is the biodiversity assessment and policy implementation arm of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the world's foremost intergovernmental environmental organization. The centre has been in operation since 1989, combining scientific research with practical policy advice. UNEP-WCMC provides objective, scientifically rigorous products and services to help decision makers recognize the value of bi... [More]

The Sea Around Us Project

The Sea Around Us Project investigates the impact of fisheries on the world's marine ecosystems. This is achieved by using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to map global fisheries catches from 1950 to the present, under explicit consideration of major critical habitats of fish, marine invertebrates, marine mammals and other components of marine biodiversity.

The Environment Directory

The Environment Directory is one of the largest exclusively environmental organization directories on the web and includes sites from over 100 countries.
