Science in practice – sustainable fishing
Senior students will develop a
deeper understanding of the nature of science and research whether human activities are harming the marine ecosystem when they focus their learning on sustainable fishing for a day at Nudgee Beach Environmental Education Centre.
Practical activities engage students, producing excitement and curiosity. What better way to do this then to head outdoors to the mouth of Kedron Brook on a running tide to partake in some fishing? Students will be briefed by Nudgee Beach EEC Centre staff on using appropriate safety equipment.
Safe working procedures are essential when participating in scientific activities and taking precautions will reduce the potential of incidents and injuries. Caught fish will be accurately measured, data recorded and then the fish will be released back into the water.
