The Sea-Surface Microlayer Insects
Very few insects can survive on open water; Halobates are one of these species. Their biology is adapted to the water and, according to this website, have not been beed in a controled environment. What would happen if the sea-surface microlayer, upon which these insects live, were polluted?

Obtaining Freshwater from the Sea
In many dry areas of the world, freshwater is a scarce resource. One possibility for providing freshwater to arid coastal localities involves the chemical process of desalination. This web site talks about desalination as a viable technique in California.

Sound and Light Penetration in the Ocean
This box deals with a variety of water properties. This web site examines the science of how sound moves through seawater and how people use sound to fish, navigate, communicate and more. There are also sections on how animals use sound in the sea and an audio library.
