Collision Course: Using Scientific Data to Support Marine Policy to Protect Whales from Ship Strikes
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

In this activity, students analyze maps of shipping lanes and whale sightings to propose a new shipping lane through the Stellwagon Bank National Marine Sanctuary to minimize ship strikes on whales. Students will read background information and conduct additional internet research to gather information. Then students will take on roles of the key stakeholders in this issue and work collaboratively to develop new a new plan, discussing problems and possible solutions. One representative from each group will share the plan with the rest of the class.

Community Ecology and Sampling

Rating
0.0 stars

This series of lessons focuses on two biological ocean communities - hydrothermal vents and seamounts. Students will learn about the organisms within these communities, the ecological relationships among them, and the impact of physical factors on distribution and abundance. In Lesson Plan 22, "Who Promised You a Rose Garden," students will conduct research to discover what types of organisms live near hydrothermal vents. In Lesson Plan 23, "Biological Communities of Alaska Seamounts," students will infer why biological communities on seamounts are likely to contain unique or endemic species and will use species occurrence data to calculate and index of similarity between two biological seamount communities. In Lesson Plan 24, "Would You Like a Sample?" students will test the advantages and limitations of several sampling techniques to study biological communities.

Students will examine and discuss how speed affects the ability of a current to transport sediment or sand, and then apply information from the demonstrations to the problem of working in underwater submersibles around undersea landforms. This curriculum guide provides background information and a lesson outline related to the effects topography of the ocean floor has on ocean current speed.

Rating
0.0 stars

This series of lessons focuses on the impacts - both positive and negative - that humans have on the oceans. In Lesson Plan 25, "Seals, Corals and Dollars...," students will study the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands ecosystem and research the environmental issues surrounding monk seals and precious corals of the region and the management of these species. In Lesson Plan 26, "Polar Bear Panic!" students will graphically analyze data on sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean and discuss possible causes and effects of the trends in the data.
