Good web-sites for nonscientist (and scientists) that have reliable and accurate scientific

information. These web-sites are great for middle and high school students who need

information for science projects, help with information for papers and just fun stuff.

Tagging of Pacific Predators began in 2000 as one of projects in the Census of Marine Life, an

ambitious 10-year, 80-nation endeavor to assess and explain the diversity and abundance of lifein the oceans, and where that life has lived, is living, and will live.

Several dozen TOPP researchers from eight countries attach satellite tags to 22 different

species of top predators that roam the Pacific Ocean. As of 2007, they have tagged more than

2,000 animals, including elephant seals, white sharks, leatherback turtles, squid, albatross and

sooty shearwaters.

Marrying other satellite imagery to the animals' tracks, we’ve started to identify the ocean

equivalent of desert oases or the watering holes of African savannahs, where the animals

gather to feed and to breed.

These voyagers are giving us better data to protect the endangered species among them, such

as leatherback turtles, black-footed albatross and blue whales. They're also providing

information to better manage fisheries -- such as bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, and swordfish --

that risk collapse or threaten the survival of other species caught in nets and long-lines.

The MLSSA Marine Photographic Index contains images and data collected over many years by club members

and supporters. The photographs used in this data base are all taken in South Australian waters. While great care is taken in

the identification of marine species please feel welcome to contact us if you believe a misidentification has occurred. Also

MLSSA welcomes members of the public to contribute photographs and information about South Australian marine life to

expand this free resource.
