The End of The Line
Use this thread to do these things:
1. First... reflect on our session from Monday night. What impacted you most? What did you learn? What will you never forget? What surprised you? What was the most valuable thing you gained from the session?
2. Second... post questions you have about any specific issue pertaining to seafood resources. Is there something specific you need clarification about?
3. Third... post resources you find as you dig deeper into your topic. Chances are, someone else can make direct use of the site you find. And really- this will also help to increase all of our general knowledge of this crucial set of issues.
4. Fourth... post questions/suggestions/images about your display setup for the night of the 26th. The more we show what we are doing here, in a digital format, the more smoothly our work will be when we come together again face to face.
5. Fifth... post any marketing ideas you have for the public screening of The End of The Line on October 26th. How can we get the word out to more people? How can we maximize our time with people from 6 to 9pm that night?
6. Sixth? Well... use the space for what you need it for. Let's all dig in... time is limited.

Website of the BLUE OCEAN INSTITUTE, and creator of the Guide to Ocean Friendly Seafood.
Here is a direct link to the online seafood guide, specifically.
Seafood Watch is another super endeavor to preserve seafood resources. Seafood Watch is a part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The direct link to the online seafood watch guide (which includes printable pocket guides as well) can be found here.

ALSO... check out this blog post I wrote about this project in past years. Though last year's project was far more open-ended, there is no doubt that we can potentially reach many more people with this year's whole group approach. The post also includes a really sweet little iPhone app that essentially puts the Seafood Watch guide on your iPhone. yeah... there really is an app for that.
;)
And wait... how about following Seafood Watch on Twitter?
Finally, I did the screenshot for the Monterey Bay Aquarium pretty sadly up above. Please allow me to make up for that:

Oh.... but WAIT: even if you don't have an iPhone, you can still get service along these lines, by sending text messages to FISHPHONE by the Blue Ocean Institute. It is pretty clear that between the two of these institutions, they make it easy to stay informed and up-to-date.

Here's another: The ISSF - International Seafood Sustainability Foundation on Twitter. And their main website can be found here.

Just found this... "Seafood Watch Training Center" video. Watch to see if this gives you any more insight into the Seafood Watch program at MBARI.

Well, I was talking to my mom about it, and if we made flyers and could scan one onto the computer, she said she would be more than happy to get the marketing sales director at her work to send it to the people at her work. I was also thinking that we could put flyers up in the school, the public libraries, Hyvee on their bullitin board, our work, and then like you said: tv and the newspaper.
Tonight's session was really informational for me. I definitely learned alot, like the type of fish we buy does affect our oceans. Something that I won't forget is the slide of the bycatch of all of the poor animals that weren't meant to be caught. I was shocked to learn about all of the different fishing and farming methods that are used, that can be good and bad. Overall, tonight I feel like I learned so much and really just can't wait to see the movie on the 26th.
Also, on the 26th, will we need to be there earlier to set up? And if so, what time would be appropriate?

Perfect Jessica.... that's just what I wanted to hear. More good ideas to spread the word!
Very glad you took away a fair amount of affect along with your newfound facts. That makes me happy.
;)
*Let's decide a time for setup during our next class. That way, we'll know more about the "extras" we will employ to make the night more special. If we are ready to go by 6:00pm, we could probably be set up and ready go 30 or 40 minutes prior. Does that sound do-able?

yes that sounds do-able! And thanks! I did take alot out of class tonight! Also, did you want ideas for what the flyer should look like?? Or do you already have that in mind??

Of course... it wouldn't hurt to have several designs. I figured I would try to match the style of their poster.

Use the space below to reflect on our latest class session... and introduction to the ins & outs of coral reef formation.
The slide set we used to facilitate our chat can be viewed here: (soon)
In the space below, tell what connections you made ...
yes, and yes... and also simply trap it within a structure they can close. think: mollusks.
I understand now. That helps.
To an extent. Does this mean they find water to make gills efficient, or does it mean they produce a saliva or water based substance to clear up their needs?
Whoa. That's sick to think algae is in all those common everyday things Americans eat. Didn't he also say it was in gum. Or am I totally making that up? I'll have to check up on that.
You did an awesome job looking up all those definitions. I'm a visual learner too, so when I was making my post. I opened up my Marine Biology book. I have to see it in person, or in pictures to understand something. One thing I think we all didn'...
Also, I have a quick question. In this picture, is this considered a tide pool? I am confused because it is not in an enclosed pool but it still has to go through the different levels of high-tide and low-tide.
So I love chocolate milk and pudding so this is a cool way to connect the ocean and the foods we eat to people like me who are not to much of sea food fans. I never would have guessed but i would have never really thought about it either.
Hey this is what mine is about. There are the four different levels and that pretty much determines how much sun and water each are exposed to, i think.
I, being the procrastinator, am just starting to do this assignment (you know the one that is due in just a couple of hours). Therefore, I am doing this two weeks after the lesson and the thing that stuck with me the most was the tide pools. The p...
Before last class period I knew nothing about oceanic zones, I learned that there are two main oceanic zones called the pelagic and the Benthic zones both of which are seperated into smaller zones within them. I also learned that light penetrates ...
Hmmmm..... I see it here just fine.
Nicely done.
What happened to my reply? When you click on Zones & Trophic levels and then go to the last page, you don't see mine at all, but if you go over to the Latest Activity and hit the "replied" link, you can see it.
During class, we began to talk about seaweed. When Mr. Nash asked if we knew what it felt like, I hadn't, because I'd never really seen seaweed in real life. I've been to an ocean and all, but never been to a spot that wasn't a beach where tons of...
Remember... the trophic pyramid is real. It is just that above coral reefs... it seems to be "inverted." Of course, this cannot be. There is simply no way to consume more than is produced. Thus, we spoke of the trophic pyramid on a coral reef as b...
Again... excellent clarification of some possible confusion between supralittoral... and littoral.
Apparent inverted trophic pyramid... apparent. It really cannot be inverted. In fact, this is related to the Law of Conservation of Mass/Energy.
Lungs are good at extracting oxygen from dry air. Gills are efficient only when wet.
Therefore, the paradox is most easily solved with regard to marine critters by finding a way to keep their gills wet during periods of drying.
Make sense?
