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.

Before last class time’s discussion I was totally confused! I wasn’t exactly sure why the island sinks so I assumed it was because of the weight of the coral. I now understand that it is because of the weight of the magma. (the coral is just a contr…
There isn't much that was cleared up for me during last class, because I had taken it the exact way that it was intended from the class before it. However, I learned a few things that basically just clarified what I already knew. The idea that Mr. N…
This should work.
When we covered Midway in class, the whole atoll idea really set in. Once I made the connection between Midway and atolls, I immediately understood them a lot better. The whole idea that we bombed one is amazing still, but if you think about it, we…
Breathtaking. I want to go see one!
Very true I guess but if nothing else, this proves it. And also, if they did not do this, it could have been just another resort island where people come and go all the time so the coral would have been killed or damaged.
Last Monday's class cleared up how the atolls sank, the coral is not the major cause of their sinking, it is the weight of the magma that comes out of the volcano. I was confused about how the coral weighed this much, but this cleared it up for me.
One thing that really was cleared up for me last class was the fact that reefs don't cause islands to sink. It is caused by the magma moving underneath the surface of the plate. I also thought it was cool that there are more islands to Hawaii than w…
URRRRRRRGGG. Why is the hyperlink NOT working?
Awesome video. But that music drives me INSANE. I can't take it. :X Were pretty much on the same page. I had know idea the process it took to make an atoll. 300,000,000 years seems like a looooooooong time for something to form. But when you see pic…
OK, so I get the feeling EVERYONE wants to visit one. So... why don't we just all go there?
Awesome video. I forgot all about that.
;)
And yes... atolls are "rare" in terms of the total surface area of the Earth in which they cover. However, in some areas (the South pacific) they are certainly relatively more common. I too concur- I have…
Well... yes and no. A "barrier reef" certainly IS a stage of reef/atoll formation. However, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, as well as the Florida Keys/Bahamas are a different sort of "barrier reef" in many ways. You are all doing a good job of…
Yep- that's another one we will examine in tonight's session.
North End peeps will always make the connection to the "Krug Park Lagoon"... which... is obviously a different sort of thing. ;)
The type of reef we will study in the Keys is a unique type... this will come up in tonight's session!
You just claimed Spongebob to be an educational tool? You have now climbed the ladder of awesomeness (in my mind) to an all-new level!
While there are a lot of good things about the reefs to talk about and analyze in a much greater depth, I will only talk about those in a few short sentences. In truth, most of this stuff we learned about with the reefs themselves, I learned when we…
Absolutely amazing!

Hatchery-raised salmon too crowded
Every year, large numbers of hatchery-raised young salmonids are released into Swedish rivers and streams to compensate for losses in natural production. Butthese fish generally survive poorly in the wild. Researchers have discovered why: the young fish are too crowded at the hatchery.Dental delight: Tooth of sea urchin shows formation of biominerals
Some of the most common minerals in biology, including those in bones and shells, have a mysterious structure: Their crystals are positioned in the same orientation, making them behave as one giant crystal, even though they do not look like a faceted crystal.Marine Research Is Key To 'Super Foods' Market
Milk drinks that lower blood pressure, meat products that reduce the risk of heart disease, chocolate that calms you down and a new range of foods that can fight obesity can be created from marine animals and plants. Japan already has several product ranges on the shelves and research programs are underway all over the world to create more. And now Ireland is well on the way to becoming a player in this worldwide multi-billion euro industry, according to recently presented research results.Turtles' Christmas journey tracked by scientists
Noelle and Darwinia are two adult female leatherback turtles that nest in Gabon, Western Central Africa. A research team has fitted each turtle with a small satellite tracking device, which enables the scientists to monitor their precise movements and observe where and how deep they dive.Rise in human-made carbon dioxide affects ocean acoustics
Oceanographers have discovered that seawater sound absorption will drop by up to 70 percent this century, due to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide causing ocean acidification. As a result, underwater sound could travel farther, and this could lead to growing noise levels in the oceans. Increasing transparency of the oceans to low-frequency sounds could also enable marine mammals to communicate over longer distances.© 2009 Created by Sean Nash
