Marine Conservation Project Resources

Here are some possible resources for the marine conservation project.  You are not required to use these resources, nor are limited to these choices. Please remember that Google is a search engine and not a resource, even for pictures.  You must write down the actual site.  Also, Wikipedia is not allowed for school-based projects. You can also check out the school or public library for valuable resources.
