Originally a video series for museums and other institutions, Ocean Today has grown and become very useful for educators. Ocean Today’s series for students and educators, called Ocean Today Every Full Moon, delivers a new collection of short videos about a single topic, every month on the full moon. 

Ocean Today’s short videos are fun and engaging for students. Designed for a middle school audience, but appropriate for older and younger students as well, these videos cover topics from safety at the surface to the creatures at the deepest parts of the ocean. These videos will inspire students to learn more about the ocean and to learn ways they can protect it.

Educating people about the importance of fresh water and marine ecosystems is a great way to involve local communities, educators, and students in addressing environmental issues at local, regional, and global scales.  Use the resources in this collection to educate people about marine debris, use real-time data to study El Nino, sea level rise, coral bleaching, water quality and ocean acidification, or go on virtual field trips to our nation's National Marine Sanctuaries.  Water is everywhere and it touches all of us every day in many ways.  Use these resources about water to bring your environmental education programs to life and make them relevant to everyone!
