From National Snow & Ice Data Center pdboyer Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:10:29 GMT http://www.montereyinstitute.org/noaa/lesson13/l13la1.html Biomagnification: Toxic chemicals and heavy metals flow into the ocean when industrial, agricultural, and human wastes runs off or is deliberately discharged into rivers that then empty into the sea. These pollutants cause disease, genetic mutations, birth defects, reproductive difficulties, behavioral changes, and death in many marine organisms. But the severity of the damage varies greatly between species. In many cases, animals near the top of the food chain are most affected because of a process called biomagnification.

Just as we need the ocean, the ocean needs each one of us. Our Ocean Portal Educators’ Corner provides you with activities, lessons and educational resources to bring the ocean to life for your students. We have collected top resources from our collaborators to provide you with teacher-tested, ocean science materials for your classroom. We hope these resources, along with the rich experience of the Ocean Portal, will help you inspire the next generation of ocean stewards. Help us make this site better!

Students answer questions about sharks aiming for 10/10 to get the job. Questions are fairly easy, but they require common sense applied to unfamiliar material. pdboyer Thu, 17 Feb 2011 03:02:29 GMT http://www.education.noaa.gov/Ocean_and_Coasts/ 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 large inland lakes play an integral role in many of the Earth's systems including climate and weather. More than 50% of all species on Earth are found under the ocean and the ocean helps sustain human life above the water by providing 20 percent of the animal protein and five percent of the total protein in the human diet. In the US alone, there are over 95,000 miles of shoreline. More than half of the US population lives within 50 miles of the coast in the narrow area of land known as the "coastal zone." pdboyer Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:58:24 GMT http://www.learningdemo.com/noaa pdboyer Wed, 11 Feb 2009 03:53:37 GMT http://www.oceanleadership.org/education/ OCEAN UNDERSTANDING Ocean Leadership has an active education component designed to provide educational materials to help students and teachers bring ocean science into the classroom. pdboyer Sun, 15 May 2011 17:02:45 GMT
