A crucial component of this project is its videographic and photographic documentation.  The value of such a record is multi-faceted:

• It permits dissemination of the findings well beyond the scientific community
• Serves as an educational tool
• Provides a resource for addressing environmental issues
• Becomes a vehicle for garnering continued economic support for endeavors in this realm

What is a Coral Reef
This video is a preview of a PowerPoint presentation about Coral Reef Ecosystems. Our presentations are available to educators upon request. Contact Us for further details.

Our Educational Goals:

• To provide selected references and updates of research in this field at this website and with links to other relevant websites.
• To provide a coral reef field education/training opportunity for high school and college students, local and otherwise, as field research assistants - the help they provide and the knowledge they gain can be invaluable. Their involvement will contribute to the development of a firm foundation for this cortisol-based stress indicator for fishes and possibly for coral reef well-being in general. 
• To provide student exposure to the complex and beautiful realm of coral reef ecosystems, we can commit future generations to the protection and sustenance of this amazing resource.

We recommend that you browse our images, videos, and research pages for additional educational insights. As reference, see the PDF files below:
