Dive into new reef game
24 August 2009
A new online game has been launched to help bring the underwater world of Australia's coral reefs into the classroom.
The Reef IQ game lets students undertake a virtual coral reef scuba dive, identifying animals and organisms while monitoring the impact of coral bleaching, crown-of-thorns starfish and sedimentation.
Students are given information on each item or organism to learn more about its place in the coral reef ecosystem.
The game is part of Reef IQ, an education program developed by Reef Check Australia with input from Marine Education Society of Australia.
