Online Underwater First! Project SeaCAMEL: Live Broadcasts November 12 - 14
Marine Science Classes from the Aquarius Habitat
KEY LARGO, Fla., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Distance learning
goes to the extreme November 12 - 14, when Project SeaCAMEL aquanauts go live with high tech marine science classes broadcast from Aquarius, the world's only undersea research station.
Live action coral reef science will be a click away for students and
ocean enthusiasts around the world via satellite and the Internet from
Conch Reef, located 4 miles off Key Largo and 60-feet beneath the sea in
the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
The mission is the first in a series of online sea-to-shore educational
programs sponsored by the Maryland-based Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans
Foundation (http://www.seacamel.livingoceansfoundation.org ), a non-profit organization focusing on ocean research and conservation.
The university-level science experiments using high-tech undersea tools
to collect data will also have broad appeal to younger audiences. Numerous
schools, museums, and aquariums across the country, in Mexico and Great
Britain are expected to participate. A curriculum for 8th-12th-graders is
also available online from project partner Immersion Presents
