PHOENIX Essentials Of Oceanography Presentation Help
Other
Note. This is the first step to an ongoing project with additional sections due in Weeks Three and Five. Review the requirements of the other sections due in Weeks Three and Five before selecting your explorative mission for this assignment.
Navigate to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Explorer site at
http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/explorations.html
You will find explorations for this current year displayed, and can access explorations from past years. Choose an exploration researching environmental issues in a United States National Marine Sanctuary. Search the internet if you need more information on national marine sanctuaries. Explorations completed in past years should provide more information than current years.
PLEASE NOTE: Your exploration must deal with ecology in the marine environment, should be located within U.S. territory, and should not deal with an historical issue. Covering historical topics or broad general ocean regions will not receive full credit for this assignment. CHOOSE YOUR SITE CAREFULLY, AS THE NOAA ASSIGNMENTS DURINGS WEEKS 3 AND 5 MUST ALSO ADDRESS THIS GENERAL AREA. Ask you instructor if you need any clarification.
Review the chosen exploration.
Develop a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation.
