Great Ocean Map from NGS and COML

The Census of Marine Life and National Geographic have collaborated to create a wonderfully detailed map of the ocean and its geography, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, that also shows at a glance some of the major findings of the COML. One side is titled Diversity, Distrubtion, and Abundance where you'll find locations of things like seamounts and coral reefs worldwide, migration tracks of sea turtles, sharks, and other large marine animals, and images of new species discovered during the COML, many of which appear in Journey into the Deep. On the map's flip side is Ocean Life: Past, Present, and Future. Download PDF versions of both sides of the map at http://www.comlmaps.org/oceanlifemap. This is a terrific resource for teachers!
