Help scientists learn about penguins and the Southern Ocean marine habitat by tagging images collected from environmental cameras in Antarctica. This project will lead to better understanding of these aquatic flightless birds, their over-wintering, the timing of breeding, and the impact of predators.
A project that empowers scuba divers and snorkelers to collect and report information on marine fish populations, sea turtles, algae and invertebrate species in temperate reef areas. Collected data is individually validated for quality and then used for scientific research by marine ecologists from NOAA, local governments and...
