The ocean drives global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #14 Life Below Water)
Over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. Therefore, learning about sustainability and practices which reduce the impact of human actions are critical to preserving our oceans and ensuring the protection of marine life.
- How sustainable is our use of our marine resources?
- How can fishing industries be changed so that they are sustainable?
- How can individuals influence the impact of the fishing industry and
food sources?
With the help of Britannica School and scaffolding questions, this inquiry project will help students learn about how fishing affects marine populations, construct explanations for why fish populations are in decline and develop solutions to make fisheries sustainable for the humans and animals that rely on them.
