Here’s a good resource for science teachers. Protect Planet Ocean should be a good resource for anyone teaching marine biology. Protect Planet Ocean provides some good information about marine preservation. The information, though based on scientific research, is presented in language that the average high school student should be able to comprehend.
Protect Planet Ocean, in conjunction with National Geographic and other sponsors, features links to a live ocean cam and a live aquarium cam.
According to Frank Taylor at the Google Earth Blog, Protect Planet Ocean is developing Google Earth files to represent protected marine areas and marine preservation efforts.
