Action Atlas: Coral Reefs
http://motherjones.com/coral_reef/index.html
This website provides information about the location and status of coral reef communities around the world. The site is primarily focused on coral reef preservation and what individuals can do to protect these endangered habitats.
Coral Reefs
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/marinebio/coralreef.html
A colorful site containing numerous pictures of coral species, marine fish, and other organisms. Viewing the site feels like looking through a marine biologist’s personal photo album.
Coral Reefs and Biodiversity
http://planet-hawaii.com/sos/Talbot.html
A newsletter from an Australian professor at the Graduate School of the Environment, Macquarie University, Sydney. A nice overview of the importance of coral reef preservation and management.
Coral Reef Animals
http://mbgnet.mobot.org/salt/coral/animals.htm
Basic information is provided about coral reefs, including, in the menu at the left, access to animal information.
FINS: Fish Information Service
Some people might call this site "Everything you wanted to know about fish but didn’t know where to ask!" Find the answers to your fish questions at this comprehensive site.
FishBase
http://www.fishbase.org/search.cfm
An online and edited version of the FishBase CD-ROM product, this page contains a lot of useful information. The most useful feature is a sophisticated search engine for identifying fish species. Once you have identified the species, the site provides loads of useful information including pictures, classification information and other scientific data. An extremely thorough site.
Issue Spotlight: Coral Reefs
http://www.state.gov/www/global/global_issues/coral_reefs/index.html
An “issue spotlight” published by the U.S. State Departments’ Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. Briefly discusses the State Department’s efforts to preserve the coral reefs both domestically and internationally. Contains links to other government-sponsored websites on the topic of coral reef preservation.
National Geographic - Coral in Peril
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/9901/fngm/index.html
The full story from the January 1999 edition of National Geographic entitled “Coral in Peril”. Unfortunately, the site contains none of the photographs that National Geographic is renowned for, but the journalism is the quality you would expect from this publication.
ReefBase: A Global Information System on Coral Reefs
ReefBase
aims to provide access to data and information on coral reefs and associated
shallow tropical habitats. ReefBase is currently carrying out a major revision
of their database and web site, however, a more comprehensive facility with
access to maps, data and text summaries from all of the ReefBase tables will
be available in a few months. At this time, you can search by country and
by keywords in their extensive collection of images and maps.
