Electronically-delivered learning materials will be transmitted on Monday of each week for downloading and printing by each participant. The DataStreme Ocean Weekly Ocean News and Supplemental Information files are also available by Monday mornings. The Weekly Ocean News file may be updated during the week as additional ocean news items occur. Additional environmental data relevant to ocean issues are linked from the homepage and always available.
A two-week start-up period is incorporated into the schedule to practice downloading and printing of electronically-delivered course materials. The same Investigations Manual activities will be delivered for both weeks, however only one week needs to be completed.
