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

Bahaha. I didn't realize that was where a lagoon was either. I love the spongebob connection though. Oh, and Fact or Crap is a fun game to play with a 10 year old who gets them all right and doesn't know anything about the question.
The atolls seamed to gather all the discussion in our last class. I thought it was really cool how the coral could make an island sink. Also, about the lagoons, i thought that was just a made up name for the pond in krug park. Although it is not n...
I think that it is somewhat cool that they bombed the Bikini islands because if they hadn't, we would not have known how amazing the coral reef could be and what it would be like if it were not disrupted by humans. Im not saying it is a great idea...
I think it is crazy as well how coral can make such a huge impact that they can sink an entire volcano. It dosn't make since though because the way i understand science and density, it would make since that the coral would only grow as tall as the...

- 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?

Morgan Wacker said… - 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.

One huge "aha" moment I had last class was where a lagoon was located. I didn't know it was between the island and the reef. I just always assumed it was just a mass of water that was out in the ocean by itself. Maybe from watching to much Spongeb...
I think it would be really neat to live on an atoll. That information was really cool Nordbye. The Tokelau islands sound really interesting. But, the people there sound creepy if you are suggested to take a picture of your family because they woul...
I loved last week's discussion. I used to think that a barrier reef was the largest a reef could get. Maybe this is because there is always talk about the Great Barrier Reef of the coast of Australia. Also, I had never heard of Bikini Atoll until ...
I had no idea there were so many zones in the ocean! I mean i knew there were a few but i didn't think anything about it. The aphotic zine is what really interests me the most. 10% of ocean life is quite a lot of fish to live down that deep. And t...
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.
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'...

In a striking finding that raises new questions about carbon dioxide's impact on marine life, scientists report that some shell-building creatures -- such as crabs, shrimp and lobsters -- unexpectedly build more shell when exposed to ocean acidification caused by elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.King crab family bigger than ever
