NOAA’s Second Second Life Island
We invite you to try out the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) second island in Second Life called Okeanos. There you can hop aboard a survey vessel and map the ocean floor, assist in the clean up efforts of an oil spill, observe the effects of harmful algal blooms known as red tides, and explore a multitude of coral sanctuaries. These and other adventures await you at the SLURL below! Make sure to pick up a heads up display (HUD) before you begin your journey.
