Man and Mollusc
Internet Resources Zone


Disclaimer
Parents,Students and Educators, Please read!
I have been to all the sites listed on this page as well as on all of the Man and Mollusc's Internet Resource Section pages. Many of the sites to be found here are very extensive, I cannot guarantee that they do not lead to other sites unsuitable for children. I have done my level best to provide only family orientated links, but, I have no control on the site's external links. Therefor; I advise that parents and educators monitor their children when visiting new sites for the first time.

Important Notice:

All Man and Mollusc Internet Resource external links are being slowly relocated to the new Man and Mollusc Directories at: http://www.directory.manandmollusc.net/molluscs/

This is a brand new (2006) Directory is far from being complete. As the old pages in this section are loaded into the the new Directory, you will be automatically be redirected to the correct page.

Those wishing to just browse the Directory are most welcome; but please be advised that all primary and secondary categories are still very much just in the organizational process and may be somewhat confusing. Please bear with me (Avril) and my assistant Paul as we build this resource.

Thank you.

Ocean-Related Professional Careers:  This page is provided as a service to those interested in perusing an Ocean-Related Career and is intended for self-directed learning. Please don't ask me for career advice. I'm not an oceanographer or a marine biologist. I am a retired nurse with a love for molluscs. I cannot provide informed career advice for marine biology and oceanography.
