Interesting Marine Articles from around the Web

As some of you know, I keep a facebook page for the club where I typically post links to interesting articles about marine life and aquarium keeping. Since everyone is not a facebook user, I will start posting the links here as well. Feel free to post links to interesting articles that you might find as well since I don't check all the websites all the time. If you think the article will start a vibrant lengthy discussion, you might consider making a separate thread for it so this can be a quick reference to the links. Also, don't forget to like us on facebook, too. https://www.facebook.com/razorbackreefmarineaquariumsociety?ref=hl
