Watching the ocean has become one of the most pertinent and energized scientific endeavors over the past few years. The health of our oceans affects sea life, and is highly connected to the safety and health of humanity and of the entire earth. We are all potentially a collaborative piece: from personal observations to the most advanced technology systems, including satellites. By learning all the ways that you are connected to the ocean, we hope to inspire you and have you in turn inspire your students, communities, and others.
