This page contains a framework of possible connections with the new curriculum. Because this web site is still in development, a process to take about ten years, your own imagination is sought. Here are our suggestions as the resource material becomes available:

• For conservation, look at: Hunter to caretaker, Marine Reserves, Poor Knights letter, Poor Knights full reserve, Kermadecs, Conservation principles, Resource Management, Biodiversity, marine conservation, the war for marine reserves, cartoons,
• Before visiting Seafriends, look at: A day at SF, Seafriends Field Centre, Snorkelling with Floor Anthoni, What to see at Goat Island, Risk Analysis form,
• For habitats and limiting factors, look at: Introduction to habitats, rock pool, biodiversity,
• For information about marine creatures, look at environment, then the classification for each group of animal or plant: sea mammals, sea birds, fish, crustacea, echinoderms, molluscs, seasquirts, sponges, seaweeds. These sections are still far from complete, because we are first concentrating on the important processes, while collecting photographs. Also look at assorted images.
• For more photographs of the sea, look at: posters, slide shows, images, Kermadecs, Goat Island, CD2004, autorun page,

Purchase the latest Seafriends CD for fast access and hundreds of screen-sized photos.
• For the most pressing problems concerning civilisation, look at: soil sustainability, soil erosion, disruption of the water cycle, disappearing beaches, science, technology and human nature, global threats, principles of conservation, degradation, images of decay,
• For natural history: timetable of mankind, geological time table,
• For an explanation of words, also giving you many ideas to talk about: glossary of marine science, dictionary of geology,
• For social conflict: conservation, science technology and human nature, belief systems,
