1 The French Frigate Shoals tagging operation celebrates its Silver Anniversary on June 1, 1998. Since 1973, research conducted there has revealed much about the mating, nesting and migratory habits of the Hawaiian green turtle.
The
tagging of turtles at the French Frigate Shoals is a marvelous
success story. The number of nesting females continues to grow
steadily as the honu population struggles its way back to recovery.
They've had plenty of help along the way, thanks to the dedicated team of researchers and volunteers at the both Federal and State levels.

Online information via the Web is available
on Sea Grant Extension Service, Research, Communications, National
Sea Grant, SOEST, and "Sea Squirt" for Kids. "Tidal
Topics" announces current news and events (e.g., Open Ocean
Aquaculture 98 Call for Papers with a link to Texas Sea Grant).
The Online FADs Program, which debuted in February 1998, provides
fishermen in Hawaii daily updated online access to information
on the State's fish aggregation devices used to attract pelagic
fishes and thus improve fishing.
"Sea Squirt," Sea Grant online for kids, used coral
reefs as a focus of its prototype. Plans are in the works for
further curriculum development for grades K-12.
