The Bridge is not a compendium of all ocean science materials on the web. It is a collection featuring the best internet resources for ocean science education. A site's value to a teacher depends upon the teacher's needs and interests. For example, a superb elementary site about fish would be of little value to a high school teacher doing a unit on plate tectonics.
