Students will study true historical events that led to the decline of different marine species
Students will discuss and analyze stories to see the need and importance of environmental monitoring and scientific ocean observation and data collectionThis is even more critical as marine groups are impacted with climate variability and changes in the physical environment.
Students will explore current tools and technology to monitor and acquire scientific data about the oceanThey will investigate the connections between the living organisms and the physical marine environment. They will review the historical events and describe monitoring and measurements that they would have wanted that could have resulted in a sustainable harvest of these species.

To understand AND predict a harvested species, we need routine observations of the complete food web
Climate variability alters marine groups through changes in ocean physics and chemistry that cascade through the food web Climate
Variability

Plankton form the essential link between the sun and larger animals
Improvements in technology provide scientists with real time data and forecasting abilities

1. Students will investigate historical events related to resource depletions

2. Students will explore technological tools used in ocean observation and monitoring

3. Students will participate in hands-on field monitoring with biological and physical parameters.

The Spring BloomThe spring bloom is an obvious
seasonal event in temperate watersIt occurs during a short period when
neither light or nutrients are limitingIt is probably the earliest example of a
mechanistic link between the oceans physics, chemistry and biology
To understand it we first need a basic understanding of nutrient cycles, phytoplankton and finally the interplay of stratification

4. Students will apply a new understanding of an historical event for a more sustainable outcome
Revisit Science Stories
Discuss tools and observations students would use to increase the chances of having a sustainable fishery or resource use
Create “Wanted” Posters describing and illustrating the technology and/or monitoring techniques “wanted” for sustainable resource use
Integrating Language Arts, Science, Math, Technology & Art
