Marine Science Links
This links page is designed specifically for teachers!
Searching the web can be overwhelming. There are so many choices
and directions, you can get lost on a tangent in no time. This page attempts
to identify the best sites for South Carolina marine science educators,
and where appropriate, to give a brief description and identify the best
individual pages within each site. Before you get started, there are two
sites that are absolutely essential for any South Carolina marine science
teacher: The Bridge and the South
Carolina Math and Science Hubs. They are described below, but click
on them here for a shortcut. Happy surfing!
You may use the shortcuts below, or simply scroll down for the full listings:
