Marine, Maritime and Coastal
Links and Organisations

Marine Conservation Society: dedicated to protecting the marine environment and its wildlife.
British Marine Life Study Society: an odd looking website, but somewhere in there is a great deal of good information.
Cetacea: whales, dolphins and porpoises.
The Basking Shark Project
CoastNET: loads of good stuff on coastal management in the UK, and lots of opportunities for networking. Not surprising, given the title.
Coastal Explorer: a project from Kent with an online book, ideal for teachers and students needing coastal Geography resources at Key Stage 2.

The following great list of links is borrowed from the excellent Isle of Wight Estuaries Project website.
