Coral Realm - Kingdoms Underwater Prepare to learn about corals as you navigate our page. This site is designed
to start out relatively simple. As you progress further on, more topics and details will
be covered. By finally making your way to through the entire site, you will have mastered
a knowledge of corals matched by few. Constructed by Morgan Chen (leader) - USA , Chow
Chee Hao - Singapore, and Ania Zaremba - Poland.
Come discover marine creatures from the tiny zooxanthellae that make the
coral reefs home to the giant mammals of the vast seas. You'll find out how tiny
ocean plants like plankton provide food for mammals as large as whales and huge ocean
plants like the giant kelp are used in some of our food products. Take a peek inside
and learn all about natural phenonomen such as ocean waves, currents and tides. Find
information about shorelines (Sandy Shores, Rocky shores, Estuaries, Salt Marshes, Mud
Flates & Mangroves).
The systems created where the land meets the sea are some of the most
beautiful and diverse on our planet. Tide pools are one such community,
created where rocky shores are covered and uncovered daily by the ocean.
Organisms that have made this area their home must be well adapted to adjust
to the drastic changes in environment that come with the changing of tides
each day. This web page is devoted to the type of tide pool found in the
Pacific Northwest, specifically off the Oregon coast.
To grasp the worldwide impact of El Nino, see the Cable News Network's maps that
allow you to click and learn about specific parts of the United States and the World.
This site provides access to a small collection of data indexes and satellite
images that compare the last six strongest El Nino events to current conditions.
This site currently centers on El Nino and its affects on global weather patterns.
A detailed history of the detection of the event is presented, as well as data about the
earliest recorded patterns. Also furnishes information about how El Nino affects the
global food chain, both in the oceans and on land.
Provides practical information about handling the effects of El Nino. Its site
offers weather forecasts, flood warnings and even "how to fight flooding at
home".
This is a site from the business-oriented San Diego Daily Transcript
newspaper, and its information is heavily San Diego-centric.
UNEP World Conservation Monitoring
Centre - Coral Reefs
Since 1993, UNEP-WCMC has been developing the most detailed global map of
coral reefs. This information represents a critical part of the increasing
information base now available describing coral reefs world-wide.
