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.

I thought Monday night was one of the best meetings we have had so far. Even though I don't eat seafood, it still make an impact on me. When I go out to resataunts now, and someone orders seafood, I'm just gonna pull out that handy chart & tell them what they should order ;) Anyways, everyone I've seen since our meeting I have to make sure they come to the screening. The movie truley looks amazing. I'm pupmed to watch it this upcoming Monday.
Kody & I are doing the Green fish. Were pretty stoked, we went & got a board and some supplies for our setup yesterday. We have some pretty big ideas (as you know if you have seen my Tweets) I really hope our board impacts people so that they make the better choice when it comes to choosing seafood.
I was thinking since maybe we could market the movie and our displays more. Maybe we could see if www.thestjoechannel.com would do anything for us..? If we made a flyer (like Jessica's post said) we could see if they would let us maybe put it on their website. Just a thought. If I think of anymore ideas I'll be sure & post.
I'll definitly keep you updated on our board and presentation. I'll try to post pic's and links as we begin.
:)

Here is a copy of the poster that we will try to get out into the public as much as possible. I have uploaded a fairly high-quality version of the image, so the thumbnail image here below can be clicked for a popup window containing the full version...

I REALLY like that, wouldn't it need some color to attract people?

The meeting monday night in my opinion was interesting, it had an impact on me of what is a good idea of dinner and what isn't. I only liked how we switched subjects so abruptly, one class we were learning tides, currents, bulges, etc then the next we are learning about different endangered fish. Yes there was a curve in the class, but I would of liked to finish talking about that subject then move on because our notes only had one page of notes left dealing with hurricanes, tropical storms, and all that stuff (I hope this doesn't start complaint or debate). What surprised me most was the Salmon, I had no idea that was a very healthy food to eat, I thought all fish were healthy for people but not THAT healthy! The most valuable thing I learned is that now learning about all the good and bad things to eat, I am definitely going to watch it and be good to the environment and save the fish!
Off the top of my head, I cannot think of something that pertains to seafood resources but if I do have a question I will be sure to ask.
I don't have any research, pictures, videos or anything at this point, I have only thought about design but I will be doing research and getting pictures ASAP. I believe Carsen and I's will be pretty amazing though the design in our head could turn out something different once we start putting our thoughts down.
Truly, I do not have any idea what to do to spread word out to attract people. I would just do traditional flyers (SP?) E-Mail, verbal communication, phone, etc. I think that would be the easiest idea but that is just my opinion.

One thing I will never forget from Monday night is the overall impact we are having on marine species just by fishing for them. I really had no idea that some of the fish that we eat all the time are in danger of being over fished. I really am so glad that we got to learn about this because I will definitely take it into consideration the next time I go to a restaurant to order seafood. My dad is big on eating healthily, and he loves salmon. So I’ve already told my mom not to buy farmed salmon for him anymore and she agreed. :)
So far all the only resources I have used is the blue ocean institute site, some other random sites, and my sister. One of the sites that I found the most useful when looking for bycatch facts is the Monterey bay aquarium site.
On Monday, Jessica and I were discussing what we were going to do with our display and we said lots of pictures and maybe the most important facts displayed actually on the board. Then maybe we could make packets of information that we could either pass out or just set on a table for people to flip through. And we also decided we wanted a laptop to be playing a video on bycatch. (I thought I could make another animoto video for that.)
I think that if we can convince at least some of the science teachers at the 3 schools to participate in this and show the trailer for the movie in their classes we could get a lot of students involved. This may seem like bribing, but maybe some of the teachers could offer extra credit for those who attend? Students may just go to raise a grade, but the video might impact them in the process… This is just a thought.

Please go to this Canadian website: How We Fish
The "bycatch" and "fishing methods" groups will both be especially happy for this site. However, we can all learn much from it. The links to the right are to some amazingly-informative .PDF files. I warn you though... they are significantly large.

thanks for that on the supralittoral/littoral thing. I guess I should have had my notes in front of me when I wrote that. I had in a big box that said LITTORAL and not supralittoral. And since I did get that wrong on here I probably got that stuck...
I thought last weeks discussion was very interesting. The thing that amazed me were the atolls and how they were formed. I realized that these atolls were old volcanoes that were islands, but the coral grew around the volcano, causing it to sink f...
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.

Global study of salmon shows: 'Sustainable' food isn't so sustainable
Popular thinking about how to improve food systems often misses the point, according to the results of a three-year global study of salmon production systems. Rather than pushing for organic or land-based production, or worrying about simple metrics such as "food miles," the study finds that the world can achieve greater environmental benefits by focusing on improvements production and distribution.Penguins and sea lions help produce new atlas
Recording hundreds of thousands of individual uplinks from satellite transmitters fitted on penguins, albatrosses, sea lions, and other marine animals, conservation scientists have released the first-ever atlas of the Patagonian Sea -- a globally important but poorly understood South American marine ecosystem.Marine ecosystems get a climate form guide
The first-ever Australian benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adaptation is being released. The Marine Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Report Card for Australia, and an accompanying website, will provide a biennial guide for scientists, government and the community on observed and projected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems.Fish food fight: Fish don't eat trees after all, says new study
Recent theories suggesting that half of fishes' food comes from from land-based ecosystems may not hold water. Experiments show that algae, not land-based matter, is needed to build healthy and fertile aquatic organisms.California's ancient kelp forest
The kelp forests off southern California are considered to be some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet a new study indicates that today's kelp beds are less extensive and lush than those in the recent past.© 2009 Created by Sean Nash
