Apparently viewers will be able to check out the habitats of threatened underwater species by viewing video streams, photos and stories from marine protected areas all over the world.
Courtesy of Natural England, the UK alone has had 43 marine sites of interest added to the new project.
A spokesperson for Natural England said: "There needs to be a change in attitudes towards protecting our oceans. The diversity of marine wildlife around England's coastline is exceptional; we have everything from whales through to microscopic phytoplankton.
"But we need an enhanced marine protection system to help conserve our undersea environment."

I think I know what's next, Google Health and you will be able to cruise through different living bodies and see them functioning from the view of a microscopic camera. Like these nerve cell images from mice.

Oh no..fish should be worried. Google has now allowed the fishermen of evil to spot where the good ones are.

Google should sets their sights a little lower... and by lower I mean they should get some cameras down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench... who wouldn't want to observe the industrious world of ooze?

What's so awesome about this idea is that it'll be able to help people become more aware of the species that are struggling because of our actions, and perhaps give them motivation to change.

What will the do next? Oh I know. Google Earth: Pervy Edition! With the ability to peep into windows with the click of a button.
Sadly, I think that would be more popular than anything Google has ever done.

When I read the title of this story, I thought google was predicting new coastlines, like "The lovely Kansas eastern shore". Thanks for confusing me, Global Warming.

That is stupidly clever! It'll be like in Castle Quest, where you stick the little guy's breathing apparatus on and go underwater and having a cunning look around. Except this will be in real life. And not on a BBC computer. Damn, I'm old.

It's not that Google is God. Is that you have haven't just gone out of your home good enough.
You are all excited about the Marine world through a Computer, yet, you don't have the brains to say. "Hey, we just have to walk down the beach and Dive and see it for myself?"
People are pretty screwed up by now.

Global warming, rising sea-level and Street-view already ensure that Google has a head start on the competition for this project.

AWESOME STUFF!!! They are talking about a late night goggles email screener, to stop sending those embarressing emails, having to do a series of maths tests before being able to email between 10pm and 4am.
