Comment on this resource
This World Wildlife Fund (WWF) site takes users on a trip to the largest Atlantic Ocean coral system - the Mesoamerican Reef. This includes videos, pictures, and animations about the reef and the area in which it's located. The site describes the animals of the reef such as manatees, turtles, pelicans, spoonbills, crocodiles, sharks, fish and corals. There are daily logs of the WWF's expedition to this area, scientist information, maps of the region, a link to the science of this region, and how to take action to save this area from exploitation.
