Organized in response to the United Nation's declaration of 1998 as the International Year of the Ocean, this clearinghouse hosts links under four main rubrics: the Marine Ecosystem, with sites on biodiversity, coral reefs, mangrove forests, and marine life; An Endangered World, with sites on climate change, tsunamis, hurricanes, El Nino, and endangered species; Protecting Marine Life, with links relating to recycling initiatives and marine parks and reserves; and Explore a New World, with interactive sites on observation of oceans, coastal area imagery and data, the ocean floor, small islands, and legends of the sea. Accompanying the link lists are articles offering advice on bringing the internet into the classroom, a frequently asked questions (FAQs) section, and an Ask an Expert page.
