_Ocean Planet_ is a Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition that now
has a companion on-line exhibition. It covers varied topics associated with
the ocean, such as the science of the ocean, the animals, people, and
communities who use the ocean, and pollution problems currently endangering
ocean resources. The exhibit features all of the text and a good portion of
the images from the traveling exhibit. The curator of this exhibit has put
together six special interest tours such as biodiversity, women and the
sea, and pollution.  Users can also build their own special tour from a
list of key words. The current list contains only four words, but is
expected to grow in the future. A comprehensive list of educational
materials and ocean resources has been included.  [KH]
