Hi Katie,

Thank you for your response!

Another area I might suggest would be the sustainability aspect of aquaculture and how it can aid food security in the future!

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for your response!

I really like the idea of going for a sustainability walk ! It sounds like a great way to make the learning experience hands on / engaging  while also easily practicable to carry out.

Hi Paddy,

Thank you for responding!

It is great to hear how you plan on tying sustainability into a nutritional workshop. It is great to get the students thinking about where their food comes and hopefully promotes responsible and sustainable decision making into adulthood.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your response!

Creating healthy seafood dishes for themselves sounds like a great way to allow them to explore nutrition as a concept, while also perhaps for a few trying a new taste in a non- pressurised situation and hopefully broadening their horizons.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your response!

It is great to hear how you have so many fantastic ideas about how to implement marine education in your classroom. I especially like the idea of testing water quality in a local area, therefore making the learning more engaging and meaningful for the students.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your response.

I like how you have promoted the development  analytical skills in one of your activities here. This type of knowledge and skillset will stand to the pupils in future when making decisions for their own hopefully healthy diet.

Hi Laura.

Thank you for your response!

It is crucial that the aquaculture farms are managed responsibly. It is the only way forward in today’s world. Mindfulness for the local communities around aquaculture hotspots is key to the development and success of the industry in Ireland.

Hi Eleanor,

Thank you for your response!

I like the idea of the students researching the varying opinions around aquaculture. It allows them to investigate the top in their own individual way and gives them full autonomy over their learning. This promotes student engagement through the learning experience.

Hi Geraldine,

Thank you for your response!

I like how you’ve highlighted have mentioned about gathering evidence as this would be so beneficial to the students research skills that would be later applicable to them in their educational journey. Allowing the students to take a hands on approach is great way for them to visualise how the learning material is applicable to their everyday lives.

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your response!

I am also from Kerry and I would highly recommend speaking to the pupils about the oyster farms down in Cromane! The aquaculture sites down there support the entire community and it can be seen in so many different ways I.e, Jacks restaurant, Seafest, how many of the companies financially support the GAA community etc.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your response!

I like how you’ve highlighted how important it is for students to understand how food lands on their plate. Hopefully education young pupils about where their food comes from will promote carefully and responsibly chosen meals into adulthood.

Hi Gemma,

Thank you for your response!

What great ways to implement sustainability into the students day to day lives using their locale as a medium to investigate! It is great to pull the concept of UN Sustainable Development Goals into the equation as well to introduce to them how sustainability can be perceived on a global setting. The contrast between using their area to focus in on and then apply it to something like the SDG can show how our day to day choices can make a big impact.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your response!

I really like the idea of the students presenting their nutritional findings of seafood to other classes via graphs/charts etc. It is a great way to practice cross-curricular learning as well as public speaking skills.

Hi Aideen,

Thank you for your response!

Taking a walk around your local area sounds like a great a way to get students thinking about sustainability in places relevant to them. Tying suitability to their locale is great way to make the learning material more meaningful and engaging.
