Marine Biology

The War At Home, La Guerra En Casa is a new program in Spanish with English subtitles that tells the powerful stories of domestic violence survivors from the Hispanic community. A victim advocate and batterer treatment therapist, as well as a former batterer, discuss domestic violence and ways to prevent it.

Exceptionally filmed and presented, this program clearly shows just how interconnected every link is on the marine food chain, from microscopic algae, known as phytoplankton, to the blue whale, the largest organism to ever live on earth. The polar, temperate, and tropical zones are explored in a systematic way by looking at the major classifications of oceanic creatures: plankton, nekton, and benthos. Thermoclines and the photic zone are also discussed in this context. Awe-inspiring underwater photography and animated graphics make this program a great classroom asset. (53 minutes)
