COSEE-West is part of the National Science Foundation supported COSEE (Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence) effort. They have created and gathered a number of outstanding resources for teachers on topics ranging from oysters to seabirds to ocean weather. Check out their RESOURCES page and just click on an activity to download from their site.

Labeled and unlabeled printouts and information on several animals inhabiting coastal areas and the ocean.

Many invertebrates, amphibians and fishes hatch from their eggs and look nothing like they will as adults. Before becoming adults these animals must metamorphose to take on their adult characteristics. This first stage outside the egg is called the larval stage. Stony Brook University's website contains amazing images of all sorts of larvae you may find floating in our ponds or ocean.

MarBEF is a network composed of nearly 100 marine institutions from the European Union. This website has quite a range of resources and content applicable to different age groups. You will find information about ocean-related careers, photos, research findings, and a number of relevant weblinks. It also has a great section just for kids including: games/puzzles, simple descriptions of ocean concepts and phenomena and information about various marine inhabitants. Because the website is so content-rich, it may take some time to navigate, but it's well worth it.

Marine debris -any persistent solid material that is manufactured or processed and directly or indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, disposed of or abandoned into the marine environment- has become one of the most widespread pollution problems facing the world's oceans and waterways. In an effort to combat this problem, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) implemented its Marine Debris Program, a national and international effort focused on identifying, reducing and preventing debris in the marine environment. As part of this program, NOAA has developed this educational website to inform people on the sources, impacts and solutions of the marine debris issue. On this site you can download informative marine debris brochures, posters, fact sheets, guidebooks, and activity books tailored to specific audiences, including beachgoers, fishermen, boaters, students and educators.

The National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) brings together those interested in the study and enjoyment of the world of water--both fresh and salt. NMEA provides a valuable focus for marine and aquatic studies world-wide. We include professionals in:
* Education
* Science
* Business
* Government
* Museums

PBS's Nature special, "Life at the Edge of the Sea," brings the rocky seashore to life inside your classroom. This website offers several teacher resources and curriculum materials as well as a VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP both at high and low tides.

Between the seashore and the open ocean is a shallow area called the subtidal zone. This site is loaded with great images of creatures you might find near shore or slightly farther out. One picture even shows the different shapes of radular teeth snails have depending on what they eat.

Are you trying to plan a field trip that depends on tidal information? This website shows predictions for high and low tides by state and region. Be as specific as possible about location when searching for tidal predictions as they may show variations even on small geographic scales. Most of the coastal field trip sites you visit will also offer on-line tidal predictions.

A great website for explaining how tides are predicted around the world. This site also has links to other tidal prediction websites for tidal information worldwide.
