I need an organization that can help me with my research paper on coral reefs.?

Question

It's a 10 page research paper and I need a primary source so I need to go somewhere that has info on them or interview someone who works with them or other marine life. I live in the Chicago area if that helps any. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

My choice would be go to an Austrialia site and look for oceanagraphy site.  Try the travel or tourism sites or even museums.  They should have a website that you can ask them for specific help on what you want to do your paper on.  

Maybe even try NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmosphere) or something like that - they may even point you in a good direction to go..

Good Luck...

I spent many days scuba diving the coral reefs in Hawaii, Florida and Cayman Islands.  But, I dont think I make a good person to interview as I only enjoyed the beauty and don't know crappola about coral reefs or even how they  develop..

Answer 2

James Cook University (main campus Townsville, Queensland, Australia) is world-recognized for work on Pacific reefs (especially Great Barrier Reef.) If you post on one of the student bulletin boards you should find a graduate student willing to assist/answer questions.
