A three-year expedition has been undertaken by the ship, Odyssey to gather the first ever baseline data on levels of synthetic contaminants throughout the world’s oceans. It will use whales, albatrosses and pelagic fish as indicator species for measuring the health of the seas. The website provides oral reports and commentary from events in the journey so far and the sound quality provided by RealPlayer is excellent. The section ‘Interactive Ocean’ allows visitors to enter and tour the Odyssey, hear sounds of animals from the oceans and a look through the bowcam, a camera mounted at the bottom of the ship. Periodic film reports are also made from the Odyssey. These include short documentaries on marine animals and plants around the globe. Documentaries are also given on filming techniques and environmental issues.
