Get involved in this... name a new jelly!
(yes, this is serious)
Toss in your two cents to the official naming contest for the Bonaire Banded Box Jellyfish. Come on, you know you love Latin.
I received a message about this a day or so ago on a marine science listserv. Go… Continue

thanks for that on the supralittoral/littoral thing. I guess I should have had my notes in front of me when I wrote that. I had in a big box that said LITTORAL and not supralittoral. And since I did get that wrong on here I probably got that stuck...
I thought last weeks discussion was very interesting. The thing that amazed me were the atolls and how they were formed. I realized that these atolls were old volcanoes that were islands, but the coral grew around the volcano, causing it to sink f...
Use the space below to reflect on our latest class session... and introduction to the ins & outs of coral reef formation.
The slide set we used to facilitate our chat can be viewed here: (soon)
In the space below, tell what connections you made ...
yes, and yes... and also simply trap it within a structure they can close. think: mollusks.

- Did you get a chance to check out my unfinished blog yet, or have you just been in over your head.

- I do like how the pictures of everyone are big on the front page though. Are you working on it at the moment or just over a while that started today?

- By the way. I have to say that I love the new layout of the site. I find the white to be kind of bright though. I like it all, but maybe not white? Or an off-white or something?

- Mr. Nash I still have yet to receive any information about what I have missed in the two class periods that I was out of town for, and what I need to be working on for the class. And also when you would like me to return the laptop and when the next class meeting will take place, so I can also get that day off from work.

I understand now. That helps.
To an extent. Does this mean they find water to make gills efficient, or does it mean they produce a saliva or water based substance to clear up their needs?
Whoa. That's sick to think algae is in all those common everyday things Americans eat. Didn't he also say it was in gum. Or am I totally making that up? I'll have to check up on that.
You did an awesome job looking up all those definitions. I'm a visual learner too, so when I was making my post. I opened up my Marine Biology book. I have to see it in person, or in pictures to understand something. One thing I think we all didn'...
Also, I have a quick question. In this picture, is this considered a tide pool? I am confused because it is not in an enclosed pool but it still has to go through the different levels of high-tide and low-tide.
So I love chocolate milk and pudding so this is a cool way to connect the ocean and the foods we eat to people like me who are not to much of sea food fans. I never would have guessed but i would have never really thought about it either.
Hey this is what mine is about. There are the four different levels and that pretty much determines how much sun and water each are exposed to, i think.
I, being the procrastinator, am just starting to do this assignment (you know the one that is due in just a couple of hours). Therefore, I am doing this two weeks after the lesson and the thing that stuck with me the most was the tide pools. The p...
Before last class period I knew nothing about oceanic zones, I learned that there are two main oceanic zones called the pelagic and the Benthic zones both of which are seperated into smaller zones within them. I also learned that light penetrates ...
Hmmmm..... I see it here just fine.
Nicely done.
What happened to my reply? When you click on Zones & Trophic levels and then go to the last page, you don't see mine at all, but if you go over to the Latest Activity and hit the "replied" link, you can see it.
During class, we began to talk about seaweed. When Mr. Nash asked if we knew what it felt like, I hadn't, because I'd never really seen seaweed in real life. I've been to an ocean and all, but never been to a spot that wasn't a beach where tons of...
Remember... the trophic pyramid is real. It is just that above coral reefs... it seems to be "inverted." Of course, this cannot be. There is simply no way to consume more than is produced. Thus, we spoke of the trophic pyramid on a coral reef as b...
Again... excellent clarification of some possible confusion between supralittoral... and littoral.

Global study of salmon shows: 'Sustainable' food isn't so sustainable
Popular thinking about how to improve food systems often misses the point, according to the results of a three-year global study of salmon production systems. Rather than pushing for organic or land-based production, or worrying about simple metrics such as "food miles," the study finds that the world can achieve greater environmental benefits by focusing on improvements production and distribution.Penguins and sea lions help produce new atlas
Recording hundreds of thousands of individual uplinks from satellite transmitters fitted on penguins, albatrosses, sea lions, and other marine animals, conservation scientists have released the first-ever atlas of the Patagonian Sea -- a globally important but poorly understood South American marine ecosystem.Marine ecosystems get a climate form guide
The first-ever Australian benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adaptation is being released. The Marine Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Report Card for Australia, and an accompanying website, will provide a biennial guide for scientists, government and the community on observed and projected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.Fish food fight: Fish don't eat trees after all, says new study
Recent theories suggesting that half of fishes' food comes from from land-based ecosystems may not hold water. Experiments show that algae, not land-based matter, is needed to build healthy and fertile aquatic organisms.California's ancient kelp forest
The kelp forests off southern California are considered to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet a new study indicates that today's kelp beds are less extensive and lush than those in the recent past.© 2009 Created by Sean Nash
