Collision Course: Using Scientific Data to Support Marine Policy to Protect Whales from Ship Strikes
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.
