Let The Reef Channel take you on a spectacular voyage through the tropical coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific. Whether you’re studying, teaching or simply interested in learning more, the 500 bite-sized video clips and easy-to-use navigation system will make it fun.
 
Ideal as an interpretive tool, an educational resource or for self-education, The Reef Channel’s Video Encyclopaedia is the most extensive existing tropical coral reef multimedia resource. 

Plunge in for all you ever wanted to know about incredible reef creatures, their habitats, the pressures they face and how they are being managed.

HOW WILL IT WORK?

Ever wondered how sharks reproduce? Want to know more about corals? Find out using the Critter Finder.

Simply chose the creature you’re interested in. We’ve covered everything from seagrass, to corals, to sharks.

Each has its own short video.
If you want to know even more just click on the Management and Research page for links to current research projects and management activities throughout the Indo-Pacific.

Confused about anything? Our 3D animations make understanding difficult concepts easy. Using 3D imagery, we help you visualise how corals grow, how climate change works and much more.

Zoom out a little bit and learn about marine habitats from the deep sea floor to the shallow sunlit seagrass beds and mangrove forests.

Investigate the pressures facing tropical coral reefs. Whether it’s the effects of climate change you are interested in, water quality or what you can reduce your impact on the reef, you will find it all here in the pressures section.

If you need to brush up on your coral reef species identification, The Reef Channel makes learning easy. Simply hit ‘subtitles’ on your remote control to display the common and scientific names of the species in the films.

The Reef Channel’s Video Reef Encyclopaedia will be available in early 2009.
