National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration The ocean covers 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contains 97 percent of the planet's water, yet more than 95 percent of the underwater world remains unexplored. The ocean and lakes play an integral role in many of the Earth's systems including climate and weather. The ocean supports the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth and helps sustain that life providing 20 percent of the animal protein and five percent of the total protein in the human diet. Ocean Conservation Research Ocean Conservation Research is focused on understanding the scope of, and exploring solutions to the growing problem of human generated noise pollution and its impact on marine animals. Ocean Expeditions Website We are lucky enough to live on a blue planet, go explore it! Check out the Site-map and some great Destinations at Ocean Expeditions Website. Oceans Research Com Oceans Research provides and facilitates innovative and dynamic marine research relevant to the management and conservation of Southern Africa's marine life. Its research is interdisciplinary ranging from biological to the socio-economic study of marine resource utilisation in Africa's coastal society. Oceans Research specialises in investigating the biology of marine mega-fauna, including sharks, rays, marine mammals and turtles, and advises governmental, non-governmental and industry on relevant conservation issues. Oceans Research offers practical and theoretical training for aspiring marine scientists from internship to postgraduate levels in conjunction with partner schools, technical colleges and universities. In addition to in-house research projects, the institute provides facilities for visiting marine scientists conducting a variety of biological and oceanographic projects throughout the major marine biomes of Southern Africa.

Save The Sea Org  The Starfish Story There was a young man walking down a deserted beach just before dawn. In the distance he saw a frail old man. As he approached the old man, he saw him picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. The young man gazed in wonder as the old man again and again threw the small starfish from the sand to the water. He asked, "Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time." The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. "But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish!" exclaimed the young man. "How can you make any difference?" The old man looked at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to the safety of the sea. He said, "It makes a difference to this one!".

See The Sea Org See The Sea, Charitable Foundation was founded in 1998 and is a non-profit (501(c)3 tax exempt) marine education and environmental awareness organization. Our mission is to actively take part in and help to promote the reversal of human-caused environmental damage and to help revive and preserve our ocean ecosystem. We achieve this through educating, inspiring and creating a personal connection to the oceans for both those already actively seeking information, as well as, and perhaps more importantly, the general public that is unaware of the significant environmental damage that is inflicted upon our oceans every day. We hope to make people think and act to reduce and reverse the negative human impact upon our seas. We believe that true change will occur with, not only an informed public, but also by encouraging the public to actively and continually inform businesses and policy makers of critical issues. Both encouraging the business world to act in a more environmentally responsible manner and pressing for more effective legislation will help to protect and preserve our global waters. Laws and enforcement are needed to prohibit those businesses and individuals who fail to act in an environmentally responsible manner. This site is continually being updated to create a site that is truly unique. We have assembled a wealth of valuable and current information that identifies problems facing our ocean environment and their causes. We also provide information and suggestions on what individuals and businesses can do to make a difference. We are now adding an activity area and are working with k - 12 schools to incorporate this information into the curriculum. The Ocean Research & Conservation Association In 2005, internationally recognized deep-sea explorer Dr. Edith Widder founded the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, a scientific based conservation nonprofit. “Our focus is on reversing the trend of oceanic and near-shore marine ecosystem degradation using the scientific integrity of a research institute,” said Dr. Widder. In 2004 and 2003 respectively, the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy www.oceancommission.gov and the Pew Oceans Commission www.pewoceans.org released independent reports detailing the significant threats the oceans currently face. “Those reports were a real wake-up call,” said Dr. Widder. To avert a crisis, we need to educate people on how they can be part of the solution.” Learn more at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association website. The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) or "NOAA Research" provides the research foundation for understanding the complex systems that support our planet. Working in partnership with other organizational units of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a bureau of the Department of Commerce, NOAA Research provides better forecasts, earlier warnings for natural disasters and a greater understanding of the Earth. Our role is to provide unbiased science to better manage the environment, nationally and globally.
