National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) is a dedicated, influential member-based organization of classroom teachers, informal educators, university professors, scientists, and more from around the world working together to advance the understanding and protection of our freshwater and marine ecosystems. From scientists working in the deep sea to students studying underwater archeology in the Great Lakes, NMEA members are dedicated to making known the world of water, both fresh and salt.

Under "playlists" you will find courses for which videos are available (currently 1). Rather than offering full 90 minute lectures we have now cut lectures into small clips of 10-15 minutes with clear indication of the subject in the title.
Mark Costello (University of Auckland) and Amanda Bates are working on the initial steps in developing a global network of research institutes and collaborators interested in time-series biodiversity data. We are hoping that you would be willing to provide some information on long-term monitoring programmes/data series/observatories that are based at your institute. Our aim is to identify temporal marine data sets and data holders in Europe, starting with the EUROMARINE community.
