videos
displaying regions and creatures of marine significance. Gentle Subscribers will
find this extensive compilation of underwater images to be a noteworthy
resource.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Media Library is an online vault where a
comprehensive collection of select video clips and high-resolution still images
from America's underwater treasures are securely stored and available for
searchable access and download ... [with] education and outreach programs
designed
to preserve, protect and promote meaningful opportunities for public interaction
with the nation's marine sanctuaries. " - from the website
This media library showcases a significant collection of dramatic marine photos,
with images from a number of named galleries such as Fish Portraits, Ocean
Forests,
Maritime Heritage, and Human Impact among others, from more than a dozen
protected
marine areas. These include regions as varied as the Florida Keys and the
Channel
Islands off the coast of California, and photos as diverse as spiralling
humpbacked
whales and giant sea kelp fronds. Each image provides information about the
photo
-- where it was taken, when, and by whom, with additional details as to
dimensions
and sizes. These photos are available for download and may be used for both
personal and commercial purposes. Videos at the site require Quicktime.
