What’s Inside This Lesson

This lesson explores renewable marine resources and how sustainable fishing ensures we have seafood today without compromising the future.


Lesson Outcomes

  • ACARA Version 9.0

    Students will:

    • Explore how humans use and manage the ocean’s renewable resources to stay sustainable (AC9HS4K06).
    • Uncover the real-world consequences of over-harvesting on environmental characteristics in a shared environment (AC9HS5K03).
    • Explain how smart rules, like catch quotas, support sustainable management practices as a safety net for our future (AC9HS4K06, AC9HS5K02).

     

    Students can:

    • Lead and participate in a sustainable resource management simulation using tabletop strategy (AC9HS4S07, AC9HS5S06).
    • Pinpoint the exact moment a resource flips from “renewable” to “running out” (AC9HS5S05).
    • Create a product label that effectively communicates sustainability rules to consumers (AC9HS4S06, AC9HS5S06).
  • Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0
