Website Review: Oceana

The OCEANA website focuses on marine life and conservation.
The Marine Life section contains a database of sea creatures. This Ocean Animal Encyclopedia is filled with fascinating facts and resource organized by types of creatures.
The Publications section includes short and longer scientific reports, brochures, facts sheets, and infographics about the world’s oceans.
The Expeditions area provides an overview of conservation campaigns focusing on unique marine ecosystems around the world.
Librarians will find this website is filled with fascinating information, but readers need to keep in mind that the focus is on conservation. The high-quality infographics would be excellent for students analysis and evaluation. The reports would be useful for informational reading activities.
