The document summarizes a week-long whale research program for students who are blind or visually impaired, run by Lynn Kent and the Whale Research Lab at the University of Victoria. Three students from across Canada participated in activities like boating, collecting samples in the field, and learning whale science. They gained an understanding of whale research and confidence as marine scientists. Students worked collaboratively on a case study and presentation, and additional learning included beach walks, kayaking, and fishing to explore coastal ecology. The program aimed to provide accessible scientific opportunities and change perceptions of blindness.

The document outlines a lesson plan for a second grade class to learn about oceans over the course of a week. The class has 12 girls and 10 boys and the objective is for 90% of students to locate oceans on a map and describe sea life. Over five days, students will learn about what causes waves and currents, locate the five main oceans, research an ocean animal for the food chain, learn about coral reefs, and do presentations synthesizing their knowledge.

SandyHookTripGR72014
The 7th grade class from Central Jersey Arts Charter School took a field trip to the SeaGrant Consortium in Sandy Hook, NJ to participate in hands-on marine biology activities. The students suited up in waders and used nets to seine for specimens in the bay. They found various marine life including jellyfish, shrimp, mussels, snails, hermit crabs, plankton, and seaweed. Later, the students tested the pH of ocean water samples and analyzed water volumes in the on-site lab. They observed their collected samples under microscopes and discussed their findings. The field trip provided the students with a unique opportunity to explore the ocean habitat and learn about local flora and fauna through real-world research

This document outlines a lesson plan for a 3rd grade class to learn about oceans over the course of a week. The class has 12 girls and 10 boys. Over five days, students will learn about what comprises an ocean, locate the five main oceans on a map, research different ocean animals and ecosystems like coral reefs, and present their findings to the class, using resources like the Magic School Bus video and computers to support their learning.
Coral spawning story
Students working with marine scientists in Florida documented the first known case of farmed Atlantic-Caribbean staghorn coral reproducing naturally. Small fragments of staghorn coral were planted in a nursery in 2006 and then transplanted to Molasses Reef in 2007, where they had grown to about two feet in diameter. Last weekend, students authenticated and collected gametes broadcast from the farmed coral, which will be used for laboratory fertilization projects with the aim of eventually transplanting offspring to help rebuild threatened coral reefs. This shows that cultured coral can survive and reach sexual maturity to naturally aid in restoration efforts.

It also outlines the design of constructed reefs, monitoring techniques, and diving protocols developed to safely deploy and monitor oysters in New York Harbor.
16.3
Biologists study rocks and fossils for several reasons:
1) Fossils provide direct evidence of ancient life forms, showing what organisms existed in the past and how they evolved over millions of years.
2) Most fossils are mineralized remains such as bones, teeth, shells, or trace fossils like footprints and burrows.
3) By examining the layers of sedimentary rock that fossils are embedded in, with younger fossils on top of older ones, paleontologists can reconstruct the timeline of life on Earth.

Mamanuca Coral Reef Conservation Project - Fiji 2001 - Report Summary
The document summarizes a report on the Mamanuca Coral Reef Conservation Project conducted in Fiji in 2001. The project aimed to assess the health of local reefs and improve environmental awareness. Surveys found widespread impacts like coral bleaching had degraded the reefs. A habitat map showed that reef habitats covered only 70 km^2 of the 1826 km^2 project area. Most sites were in poor condition with low coral cover. The project recommends expanding marine reserves to 20% of reefs to protect biodiversity and fisheries while reducing threats to reef health.

Alexander_Brown_PhD_Thesis_Murdoch_University_February_2016
This thesis examines the conservation biology of three tropical inshore dolphin species - Australian snubfin, Australian humpback, and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins - in northwestern Australian waters. The author provides quantitative data on the abundance, site fidelity, population genetic structure, and social structure of these species at five study sites. The abundance of each species varied significantly across sites, with most estimates below 60 individuals per site. Several local populations showed evidence of site fidelity. Genetic analyses revealed significant differentiation between populations separated by over 200 km, suggesting a metapopulation structure. The author also documented sex differences in social structure within one snubfin population and geographic variation in dorsal fin features of humpback dolphins

Changing Oceans Expedition 2012 - Laura Wicks, MASTS
The Changing Oceans Expedition visited cold-water coral reefs in the North Atlantic to examine the effect of climate change on these ecosystems. During the expedition, schoolchildren from a local Hebridean high school visited the research vessel to learn first-hand about marine science. The children were able to observe the coral reefs using a remotely operated vehicle, interact with scientists, and help communicate their new understanding back home. The goal was to help the public connect marine science with environmental protection by giving students this educational experience.

Introduction to marine biology (Dr Zubia Masood SBKWU)
Marine biology is the scientific study of ocean life. It aims to observe and describe marine organisms, explain their behaviors and interactions, and predict how they will be impacted by human activities through continued exploration and research using tools like ships, submersibles, satellites and more. Marine biologists seek both to advance scientific understanding and to inform efforts to sustainably manage marine resources and protect ocean ecosystems.

Captivity of dolphins and whales
- The document discusses the impact of captivity on the life expectancy of dolphins and whales compared to their life expectancy in the wild. While dolphins can live up to 50 years and orca whales up to 80 years in the wild, their life expectancy is much lower in captivity at only 2-8 years.
- Thousands of dolphins and small whales are captured in shallow lagoons for captivity each year, and many die during the capture process or in their first few years in captivity. Over the past 30 years, half of captive marine mammals died before age 7 and 83% died before age 20.
- The document recommends actions the public can take to help dolphins and whales, such
