The FHL Marine Science Image Gallery: a New Resource for Students and Teachers at All Levels
by Ken Sebens and Tim Dwyer
Do you need a quality image of a sponge for your next invertebrate zoology lecture? Maybe one of your students needs an algal photo for a class report? Or, perhaps one of Friday Harbor’s schoolteachers wants to show their students what a limpet looks like.
Well, look no further – FHL now has an online photo gallery that will likely meet your needs. This growing gallery already contains over 2500 photos, and is organized by geographical area and by subject.
For example, there is a large section that features organisms living in the Salish Sea, and another for photos of marine habitats along the Pacific coast. In developing the gallery, we solicited images from FHL researchers with projects all over the world. They responded by contributing enough material to build galleries for the Pacific islands, Caribbean, Mediterranean, North Atlantic, and many more.
We also added galleries for FHL activities, classes, and research in action, and we plan to add more photos covering FHL’s long history.
