Hello,

Thank you for your response!

Emphasis on social license is particularly important as younger pupils learning about aquaculture allows them to understand where their food comes from. Hopefully this will promote responsible, informed and sustainable decisions into adulthood.

Hi Robert!

Thank you for your response!

It is great to hear how you plan to introduce this material into your classroom. It is just as important for our inland communities to grasp the benefits of Irelands marine industry.

Hi Ruth,

Thank you for your response!

We have beautiful shots of mussel farms from Bantry featured in the first activity we carry out on the ARC! I worked on an oyster farm myself and can attest to the support that these practices can financially offer to a community.

Hi Ruth,

Thank you for your response!

It is wonderful to hear how you have planned to introduce marine science teaching at a whole school level! It is lovely to hear how all age groups are to be involved in such an interesting topic.

Hi Ciara,

Thank you for your response,

One way I might suggest to you about introducing food labels to the students would be to note 5-10 the food labels they can find on their next grocery store visit. To document them but also then explain what they mean. They might even teach their parents something with that 😊!

Hi Ciara,

Thank you for your response!

It is wonderful to hear about such actionable support within the students local community. Linking actions that pupils can take at local level to global environmental difficulties would be a fantastic way to promote responsible and active citizenship.

I like the idea of digital presentations as well. To take autonomy over their learning and allow them to explore the topic in their own way builds on their own natural curiosity and creativity.

Hi Aoife,

Thank you for your response!

I agree, it is so important for young students to know where their food is coming from. It gives them a sense of responsibility to make sustainable food choices into adulthood.

Hi Aoife,

Thank you for your response!

It is so important to bring real-life learning into the classroom! It makes the material all that more digestible and relevant to the pupils.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your response!

The macro nutrients of seafood are ideal for a high protein diet. Especially for students who are involved in sport and would be exercising regularly, a high protein diet would be very beneficial to their performance and muscle recovery.
shellfish in particular are quiet high in micronutrients such as magnesium which have been known to prevent muscle cramping in addition to this!

Hello Bairbre,

Thank you for your response!

I really like the biodiversity boosting efforts that you are promoting in your school. This practice boosts responsibility and confidence in their consistent efforts. In addition to this understanding how to cook and look after yourself at a young age is a vital skill to be carried into adulthood.

Hi Gráinne,

Thank you for your response.

You have very clearly highlighted how sustainability extends beyond recycling to included caring for the environment, supporting biodiversity and engaging with local communities. Linking actions that pupils can take at local level to global environmental difficulties would be a fantastic way to promote responsible and active citizenship.

Hi Deirdre,

Thank you for your response!

Congratulations on the win :)! From a Kerry woman, I must say it was a beautiful display of sport on Sunday. It truly felt like a piece of history unfurling before our very eyes!

I like how you are using place-based enquiry-led learning that connects Mayo’s unique seascape with global sustainability goals. Engagement with the pupils would definetly be bolstered by the hands-on fieldwork. These practical activities creates a strong sense of stewardship for their local community.

Hi Triona,

Thank you for your response!

I really like your focus on demonstrating to the pupils that sustainability happens everywhere. Connecting local community initiatives with wider topics like sustainable seafood and aquaculture is a great way to aid pupils understanding that everyone has a role in environmental protection.

Hello Colette,

Thank you for your response!

I have to agree that using the pupils local environment makes the concept more meaningful and relevant during their learning experience.Partnering with the University is a great, proactive idea to provide memorable environmental education experiences for the students.

Hi Fionnuala,

Thank you for your response,

Your point about connecting this concept across multiple subjects such as SPHE, Geography and Science aids the students in their understanding of linkages between sustainability, employments and the environment.
