By far, the most popular identification books for the area we will be visiting are these by Humann & DeLoach. This three volume set may be purchased in the boxed version pictured or as individual volumes: Reef Fish, Reef Creature and Reef Coral.

Tropical Marine Ecology--An 8-day workshop at a tropical reef in Roatan, The Bay Islands, Honduras, Central America. Join New York Sea Grant, The Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence - Great Lakes (COSEE-GL) and the AQUARIUM of Niagara on their nineteenth annual expedition to the Caribbean.
WHAT WE DO...
In Tropical Marine Ecology we will study the biodiversity of a coral reef ecosystem and the related habitats that support its complex structure. Observe the dynamics of age-old survival relationships of unique animals on the reef and the pressures of an emerging tourist destination on these delicate relationships. Swim and interact with dolphins at the largest dolphin encounter in the Caribbean. Comfortable boats will deliver us to the calm, sheltered coral reef lying just offshore, where you will be snorkeling among the reef fishes in warm water almost as clear as air. This course is a must for nature lovers and science teachers at all levels. Transform life science and social studies lessons with materials and experiences that will allow students to construct their own models of these complex but crucial ecosystems.

Most valuable set of marine resource books: we've used them on every tropical trip and later in the classroom for projects with students.
