Restore America's Estuaries Launches New Website -- Renovates their "Online Habitat" Web design firm, Blue Water Media helps Restore America's Estuaries create and launch new website Washington, DC (PRWEB) September 30, 2009 Just miles from America's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay, Restore America's Estuaries recently launched a new website to help in its efforts on behalf of the nation's estuaries. The new site helps the public locate resources and materials on estuarine and coastal habitat restoration including: publications, the latest news and science, restoration videos, and information on how and where to volunteer on behalf of our estuaries and coasts. Blue Water Media has helped Restore America's Estuaries create an innovative website commensurate with its role as a leading advocate in the fight to protect American estuaries. The new website features a number of improvements that enhance its functionality and make it more interactive. Restore America's Estuaries also wanted to use the website to better serve the coastal and estuarine habitat restoration community. To do this, as part of the increased functionality, they included a new blog, marked by a convenient link at the top of the website, and connections to its pages on the social networking sites, facebook and myspace. The website also has links to topics including: estuarine education, involvement and volunteer opportunities, and resources for further study. The education section gives site visitors more information on what estuaries are (bodies of water where salt and fresh water meet, like the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Tampa Bay and others), and on the imminent dangers facing estuaries. The get involved section allows users to find volunteer opportunities near their homes, find out about the latest federal and state legislation and regulations affecting the nation's estuaries, and donate money on behalf of coastal restoration. Blue Water Media has designed the website with vibrant color schemes and designs which help paint the picture of a healthy estuary. The website also incorporates vivid images of estuaries, the people who enjoy our coasts and bays, and the animals and plants that rely on healthy estuaries. Blue Water Media has provided Restore America's Estuaries the capability to keep visitors abreast of RAE and restoration community news. To do this, Blue Water Media installed Joomla, an award-winning content management system that enables Web users like RAE to build and update their websites through a user-friendly format--a feature Restore America's Estuaries has put to good use by adding a breaking news section to its website, keeping users up to date on environmental news.
