Can I submit content to the Ocean Portal?
We would love to hear about your ocean adventures and see your photos and videos. Soon we will be creating a place where you can share with other Ocean Portal visitors. Please check back soon. In the meantime, feel free to comment on our Web pages.
Educators’ Corner
Our Educators’ Corner is growing slowly but surely. If you are an educator and have questions or ideas about how we can improve this important part of the site, please email the Smithsonian’s Ocean Science Educator Elizabeth Ban at bane@si.edu.
What are tags? Where do my tags go?
Tagging is applying keywords to an image or other piece of content to help people find it when they search. Your tags help everyone find objects on our site. When you add a tag to a page, it will not show up immediately but it will enter the Ocean Portal database.
How do I visit the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Sant Ocean Hall?
You can plan your trip online at http://www.mnh.si.edu/visit/, or call 202.633.1000 (voice/tape); 202.633.5285 (TTY).
