Dear 
Coral-list, 
   
Would you please add 
the following announcement to the list. Thanks.  
   
I, along with Richard Plate, Siri 
Jacob, Jan Lupton and the School for Fields Studies’ Center for Marine Resource 
Studies in South Caicos have developed a marine education series called 
‘Learning from the Sea’ that consists of a workbook and an Interactive DVD that 
will be distributed and made avaliable, free of charge to all the schools in the Turks and Caicos Islands in an 
effort to incorporate more marine education and awareness into the school curriculum. This specifically looks at marine themed math and reading exercises 
that can be used by teachers. As part of the learning from the sea series we 
have created a website called www.learningfromthesea.com that 
contains many features of the DVD as well as being regularly updated with new 
exercises and a blog discussing marine education subjects. Some of the other 
features of the website include videos created by Richard Plate, interactive 
reef SCUBA dives and mangrove snorkels, news and links and sources to other 
marine education material. All material on the website, the workbook and the interactive DVD has been made avaliable free of charge to anyone who feels it will be of use.
 
   
Thanks,
