Hi Patricia,
I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the first module and thank you for the lovely feedback.
I agree it is so important to introduce the topic at an early age and that is why the ARC workshop is designed for 5th and 6th class students, to begin the early introduction of the topic.
Hi Jennifer,
Brilliant feedback and I am happy to hear you enjoyed the first module! It is so important to teach children about where their food comes from and also about the nutritional benefits of eating certain foods. These topics will be covered in more detail in module 4 Nutrition and module 5 Sustainability!
Hi Orla,
I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the first module. Our goal in creating the content was to ensure it was engaging and easily integrated into new lessons that teachers could bring into their own classroom.

Hi Sheila,
It is great to hear that you enjoyed Module 1 – An Introduction to Aquaculture, and thank you for the positive feedback!
As you mentioned you are living in Cork, there are many hot spots for Aquaculture in Cork which are providing many jobs locally. Bantry Bay is one of these which is home to Ireland’s largest Organic Mussel Farm. This would definitely be a great way to introduce the topic by giving the students local examples of Aquaculture farms in Cork.
Hi Shane,
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. As you mentioned living in South Dublin many of your students may not even be familiar with the term Aquaculture, so it will be something new!
Hi Helen,
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed Module 1 – An Introduction to Aquaculture!
This is such great feedback for us! Our aim in designing this course was to make it engaging for teachers and adaptable for classroom use. The next few modules will go into a little more detail on topics including Geography, Climate and Nutrition and will hopefully spark more ideas of how to bring Aquaculture to your classroom!
Hi Niamh,
Great to hear your feedback on the first module and how you plan to bring some new ideas to your classroom. The next few modules will cover different topics including geography and socioeconomics, focusing on how Aquaculture supports many coastal communities and provides jobs.
Hi Aileen,
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the first module and can bring what you learned to school in September. Both the ARC 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 Laura,
Great to hear you are enjoying the first module. We love to hear from people who don’t have prior knowledge of Aquaculture taking an interest in the subject.
With our social licensing projects we have seen that it is very important to introduce the term Aquaculture at an early age so students grow up with the knowledge of the different types of farming which take place here in Ireland, both on land and in the water.
Hi Kate,
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the first module. It’s always surprising to see how little awareness there is about aquaculture, which is why our social licensing projects are so important. The ARC project and our other social licensing projects are a great way to introduce the topic.
Hi Fiona,
Great ideas here of how these lessons can be integrated into your own classroom. I agree that the topics covered during this course can be integrated with many different subjects on the curriculum, as you mentioned history, music and visual arts.
Hi Fiona,
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed Module 1 – An Introduction to Aquaculture!
I hope you’ll be able to integrate some of the videos and insights from this module into your classroom lessons. Your feedback is especially valuable, given your experience with the ARC. I am glad to hear you enjoyed it and thank you for your kind words!
Hi Roisin,
Delighted to hear that you are loving the course so far. There are so many comparisons which can be drawn from both Agriculture and Aquaculture which is a brilliant way to incorporate it into your lessons.
In the next couple of lessons we will go into more detail on nutrition, and the benefits of including seafood in our diets.
Hi Niall,
I am happy to hear you enjoyed the first module. The videos created for the ARC were created with students in mind to keep them engaging and informative, so they can be easily incorporated into classroom lessons.

Hi Sinead,
Great to see that you enjoyed Module One – An Introduction to Aquaculture!
Thank you for attending a webinar during the year. We love hosting them as it allows us to extend the reach of the ARC and ensure that schools on our waiting list get a taste for aquaculture while waiting for the ARC visit.
