Unsustainable Fishing Challenges
Learn about a number of unsustainable fishing challenges affecting our oceans today.
Science for Sustainable Oceans
Understand how the world’s oceans are at risk from overfishing, how scientific knowledge can be used to prevent overfishing, and ways that science can be used to support sustainable fishing.
Marine Food Webs and Overfishing
Explore how food webs work in the marine environment, the consequences of overfishing on ocean life, and how sustainable fishing protects marine ecosystems.
Christmas Prawns in Australia
Learners will discuss the Australian Christmas tradition of eating prawns, and the importance of sourcing sustainable seafood. Students learn about the anatomy of a prawn.
Food: Different by Design
Learners will discover some of the innovations being made in aquaculture and wild fishing to help reduce pollution and entanglements with marine wildlife.
What is a fish?
Learn about the scientific characteristics of a fish, the unique features of different fish species, and how these influence their habitats and behaviour.
Marine Habitats and Overfishing
Explore what life looks like underwater, learn about different marine habitats, and discover how fish species have adapted to unique marine environments.
Thank you, Fishers
Learn about fisheries in Australia that are working to safeguard future generations of both people and fish. A set of slides is provided, and an accompanying Kahoot! quiz.
Sharks in the Marine Ecosystem
Learners will identify producers, consumers and decomposers in the food chain, and understand the importance of sharks in the marine ecosystem.
The Science of Light and Colour in the deep ocean
Students explore the phenomenon of light and colour in the ocean through sense-making, examining how light interacts with different materials and understanding its behaviour as it passes through the ocean.
