I work in a school where fish farming in a source of employment for many of our parents and many others fish as a livelihood. As a school we have spoken about getting the arc in but never actually got around to it, between this and all the work we do on biodiversity and sustainability, I am doing this course for myself first to get a better understanding of my own surroundings.
Even though we re situated on the west coast, where aquaculture, ie fish farms are a source of local employment, I feel we know little about them. Fishing, especially for shellfish is also another source of employment amongst some of our families and would been a generational occupation. Again, I would like to know more about what’s on my doorstep.
I agree with Jennifer, even though we live near a fish farm, we have never critically analyzed the many other elements of the fish farm that created what we see daily. We need to be more aware of all the job opportunities that go with the fish farm not just what we see but the explore the bigger picture. We have worked with Nóirín previously and always enjoyed these practical lessons. Its time for us to develop and expand the knowledge available to us and work on achieving the blue flag.
I live on the west coast of Ireland which is suited to farming at sea and not agriculture. This provides employment for local families thus avoiding having to move away. This module has made me more mindful of where I live and prompted me to think about why there are salmon farms in this region and what this means to the people and the area.
