This CD-ROM contains:
- Two digital slide shows about the island of Bimini and the tropical coral reefs that surround it. The slide shows are formatted in high and low resolutions for computers with large and small screens. The slide show is narrated using WAV audio files. The first slide show illustrates the island of Bimini and its people, with photographs of the beaches, sunrises, wildlife, and everyday activities that make Bimini a special place. The second slide show illustrates Bimini's tropical reefs, with photographs of the fishes, corals, crabs, lobsters, sponges, sea turtles, and spotted dolphins that have brought ReefNews to Bimini on four different reserach expeditions.
