Learning about the environment can be fun. There are some really cool sites on the Internet and using them to learn can be an adventure - just spend some time checking out some of the sites linked below. The more you know about ecology and science, the easier it is to make correct decisions to help protect the earth and the creatures that live here (including you and me).  Hopefully, you will begin to understand the importance of Mobile Bay and the reasons we need everyone's help to protect it.  There's also lots of stuff that might be helpful with school assignments, especially down here on the coast.  Have fun learning!
