JASON VII: Adapting to a Changing Sea

INTERNET LINKS

Research during the JASON VII expedition will be concentrated in three areas: Florida Bay, the coral reefs, about 9 mi. (14 km) offshore, and the relic reefs, about 20 miles (32 km) offshore. Below are some links to more information about some of the organisms that inhabit these areas. In addition, more information is available from other organizations and institutions that have research programs in southern Florida.

In addition, a list of JASON VII Curriculum-specific links is being built and a large list of marine-related materials are available in the Ocean Planet Resource Room.
