activity
using
satellite
images
of
the
Gulf
of
Maine
and
the
Carribean
Sea.
Students
are
asked
to
examine
satellite
data
of
sea
surface
temperatures.
From
this
data
they
are
to
determine
the
temperature
scale
and
how
temperature
differences
are
indicated.
They
also
examine
phytoplankton
density
images
to
determine
where
high
phytoplankton
densities
are.

enter
the

describes
the
factors
that
decide
the
physical,
chemical
and
biological
degradation
of
the

as
potential

damage,
effects
on
wildlife,
and
effects
on

Several
agencies

organizations
working
to
prevent
discharges
of
oils
into
the
