Hi Katie,
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed Module 1 – An Introduction to Aquaculture, and thank you for the positive feedback on the course so far!
Our projects like the ARC, Young Chef Ambassadors and The Taste the Atlantic project are so important in promoting social licensing of Aquaculture here in Ireland and making it accessible to all!

Hi Pauline,
Glad to hear that you enjoyed Module One – An Introduction to Aquaculture! We would love you to bring the learnings of this course into your own classroom. There are many resources throughout the whole course that can be easily integrated into classroom lessons. As you mentioned living by the sea in Wexford it would be very beneficial for your students to learn about Aquaculture, as they may not be familiar with it yet!

Hi Aideen,
Glad to here that you enjoyed Module One – An Introduction to Aquaculture! It is nice to hear some feedback from someone living so close to an Oyster farm, as I am sure you hear about it all the time. I think even if you are familiar with aquaculture this course will provide you with the resources needed to include the topic in your own teaching.

Hi Niamh,
Great to see that you enjoyed Module One – An Introduction to Aquaculture! We have many resources available on our website and we hope that taking part in this course will equip you with what you need to bring Aquaculture to your own classroom.
Hi Sheila,
I’m glad you enjoyed this module. It must have been interesting to compare agriculture on your own farm with the workings of aquaculture. As you mentioned, both are heavily reliant on our climate, especially here in Ireland!
Hi Helen,
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Module 2: Where Do We Farm, and thank you for the kind feedback on the content. When creating the modules and videos, our goal was to make them engaging for both teachers and students, and easy to integrate into classroom lessons!
Hi Felicity,
Great feedback. In rural coastal communities in counties like Donegal, Sligo, and Mayo, aquaculture is a key source of employment. The sector is generating even more jobs, which will hopefully attract more workers and encourage young people to pursue careers here in Ireland, rather than emigrating.
Hi Orla,
Thank you for the great feedback on the lessons. When putting together lessons and resources we wanted them to be as engaging as possible and easily integrated into classroom lessons. The idea of having your students take turns presenting is brilliant!
Hi Ann,
Great too see you took this course to further your own understanding and pass on this knowledge to your students. There are many resources where you can find out more information about the types of Aquaculture taking place in your area, which you will see in the next few modules. A good place to start would be the annual aquaculture report published by BIM in 2023 which can be found on their website but is also linked in module 3.

Hi Rian,
The idea of having cooking demonstrations and creating meal plans is brilliant, showing how cooking fish can be simple, delicious and most importantly good for you!!
Hi Rachel,
I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the first module and thank you for the lovely feedback on the ARC, we are very lucky to have the ARC as our travelling office!!
In the next few modules we will cover the topics you mentioned in more detail including geography and nutrition, showing how the topic of aquaculture can fit into many curricular strands!

Hi Felicity,
Great to see that you enjoyed Module One – An Introduction to Aquaculture! It is definitely nice surroundings for us working in Aquaculture, especially for us working on the ARC traveling all over Ireland visiting some of the most scenic areas in the country!
There is a waiting list for the ARC but if you would like to register and express interest in a visit, your school may be chosen when we are next visiting your region: https://bim.ie/a-seafood-way-of-life/the-arc/registration-form/

Hi Colm,
Many people are unaware of the many other nutritional benefits found in seafood like iron in shellfish or vitamin D in oily fish like salmon, so it’s great to hear you thinking of using this information in the classroom.
I totally agree that encouraging children to taste fish in the classroom would be great. It may then spread it throughout the family so it would be interesting to see if the students can get the family on board with eating fish too!
Hi Rian,
I’m glad you now have a deeper understanding of Ireland’s aquaculture industry and social license projects from module 1.
