The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (http://www.noaa.gov/) National Marine Sanctuary Program (http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/) (NMSP) has established an innovative education and technological framework to bring the excitement of the nations underwater ecosystems to the American public by linking existing system-wide oceanographic monitoring programs with interactive telepresence technology. This initiative will revolutionize oceanographic information dissemination by integrating live video camera feeds with data streams as diverse as observations collected by citizen-scientists, satellite records, and measurements collected by monitoring stations within sanctuaries. In addition, it will supply live underwater video to support a variety of formal and informal learning experiences.
