About the Video Gallery     

left line Estuary Photos
 
The Estuary Video Gallery provides access to more than 150 short video clips, and growing! You will notice that some of the video clips mention the EstuaryLive program. The reason for that is that several of the video clips come from a program we used to offer called EstuaryLive. EstuaryLive was a live, real-time, online expedition to estuaries from both NOAA Research Reserves and EPA's National Estuaries Program. The video clips you will find in the Estuary Video Gallery are much shorter, lasting between one to ten minutes.

You can download all these video clips in Windows Media or Quick Time format for use in educational settings only. You can also search the video clips by state, topic and location.

The video gallery invites users to explore several content areas. The main content themes are:
  • Estuaries & You: Provides a series of video clips focused on the relationship between estuaries and humans, mostly from a cultural, arts and economic perspective.
  • Life in an Estuary: Features video of life in an estuary, to include both plants and animals that make their home in an estuary.
  • Protect & Restore: Contains video stories about the impacts that humans can have on estuaries and the things that scientists, educators and students can do to protect and restore these wonderful places.
  • Science & Technology: Includes stories about the type of research done and the equipment used in monitoring our nation's estuaries in a video format.
  • K - Elementary: This section provides access to a reduced set of video clips that could be used with students at k-elementary grade levels. All the other videos in the collection have been tagged for use with middle and high-school students.
