Earth's Kids Offers New Marine Science Page for Kids
5/25/2007
Earth's Kids has expanded its "Fun & Learning" pages for children to include a new section on Ocean's & Marine Life Science!

It is our hope that parents and educators will use this resource to help kids learn more about ocean ecology & the conservation of fish and other marine creatures and to endow in them a deep sense of wonder and appreciation for life in our seas. Above all, we hope everyone will come to understand that the health of the oceans is fundamental to the health of our entire planet, and possibly even to the continuance of life on Earth.
