World Wide Web Links about Coral Reefs

As you collect data on this coral reef in Bermuda, you may need to find the answers to other questions. Below are Web sites elsewhere on the Internet that just might have the answers you are looking for.

  • NOAA's Coral Health and Monitoring Program (http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov) has information about coral health, satellite images of selected coral reefs, and historical data from selected reef areas.
  • SeaWorld (http://www.seaworld.org/coral_reefs/introcr.html) has information about coral adaptations, diet, defenses, and more.
  • The FishEye View Cam (http://www.FisheyeView.com/) is used by marine biologists to study coral behaviors at Fisheye View labs in Coral Gables, Florida. Time-lapse motion studies allow researchers to better understand these unusual slow-moving marine animals.
  • Coral Rings and Climate Change. (http://www.jasonproject.org/jason_scripts/coral_subreg.pl) Counting corals is one way to discover change over time. This link will take you to a JASON VII investigation that will show you how scientists look at coral rings, like tree rings, to study changes in climate.
