From a single H₂O molecule to a thirty-meter whale.
A four-part field guide to the science of aquatic ecosystems and the people working to put them back together. All offline-friendly. All animated. All single-page.
▶ A 1-minute video walkthrough · narrated by a Microsoft neural voice · assembled by Claude Code
🌊 Aquatic Ecology
From a water molecule to a blue whale — eleven orders of magnitude on one screen, plus a depth tour you can scroll, click, and quiz yourself on.
🌊 Marine Restoration
A thesis-grade slide deck on coral, mangrove, oyster, seagrass, kelp, salt-marsh, and MPA work. Auto-play, fullscreen, arrow-key driven.
🏞 Freshwater Restoration
Rivers, lakes, wetlands, beavers, dam removal, urban green infrastructure — the most threatened ecosystems on Earth, and how to bring them back.
🤿 Scientific Diving
The hands and eyes of marine restoration. A 13-chapter narrative on how divers actually do the work — transects, outplanting, photogrammetry, lionfish.
About this project
Four single-file HTML pieces by Dan Close — an HSU master's thesis project at Cal Poly Humboldt Marine Sciences. Every animation is inline SVG, every page works offline, every page reads itself aloud (tap the 🎧 button — bottom-right of any feature page).
For Microsoft natural neural voices, open the pages in Microsoft Edge; on macOS without Edge, the narration falls back to high-quality system voices like Samantha, Ava, or Allison.
