The map of Ireland highlighting Aquaculture areas on the island is hugely useful.
Sustainable growth is key when discussing Aquaculture and this point was clearly delivered.
I agree with Robert when he says that Supporting coastal communities both directly and indirectly is both clever and necessary and makes perfect economic sense as well as social sense.
Well done on the ‘Golidlocks climate ‘term, totally relatable. The world climates are very clearly explained.
The differences between Agriculture and Aquaculture are also clearly outlined.
Another enjoyable Module.

I thoroughly enjoyed Module 1 and am looking forward to further 4 Modules. It has inspired interest and enthusiasm in finding out more about the Aquaculture Industry, a growing. thriving industry on our island. ( it would appear and not everyone is aware of its importance to us on so many levels.)
The BIM Social Licence Projects are so worthwhile. The ARC is fascinating and I would love to avail of the resource, instantly engaging and the amazing technology on board is guaranteed to capture the interest of all . I intend to register my school in the hope that we can avail of an opportunity to experience ARC.
The cross curricular links are obvious and the information on Healthy eating is both comprehensive and very well presented.
I agree with Katie when she says that the course aids the promotion of Social Licensing of Aquaculture here in Ireland.
An excellent Module 1.

I have always been aware of the need to protect the planet and all species who live in it and depend on it. Schools can and do play a massive role here. Put quite simply if an individual ( child, parent, adult) understands just how critical it is to make a positive effort, however small the value of doing so becomes obvious and worth achieving. The difference it makes is phenomenal.
Children need to know about Global warming and it’s impact on our planet. In our school we try to play an active part as follows:
Green Schools: many green flags achieved.
Walking Buses:( for all within 1km of the school)
Safe Cycling: a 10 week programme for 5th Class students
Energy conservation Team: Monitor lights
School Garden: rich in pollinating plants.
I agree with Rachel when she says that children today are more aware of the term sustainability, I have noticed this and feel that it is definitly a big positive for the planet.
It’s a topic that offers much scope for a fascinating Term’s work.
I thoroughly enjoyed this module, most informative and so interesting. It’s vital that children ( esp. in our world today) know that not all food is nutritious or safe and healthy to eat.
The Food Pyramid was once again brought to life. Emphasis on the importance of seafood in a well balanced, nutritious sustainable diet was well documented. It would appear that seafood (oily fish and shellfish) are exceptional sources of high quality protein in our diets. Add to this the fact that seafood has all the essential amino acids that our body needs. When we include Omega 3 oils seafood becomes a Wonder Food.
What a pleasure to pass this valuable information onto children.
I found the clarification on Labelling both useful and informative and intend to share it with my 6th Class this coming year. The ‘Eyespy in the Supermarket’ game is definitely a winner. When prepared correctly and all labelling understood it should develop into a true life skill.
I agree with Sarah, that the topic of food nutrition and sustainability link in closely with SPHE and Science in our curriculum.
The ARC resource is an amazing ,child friendly resource. I wasn’t aware that ARC existed until now but fully intend to avail of it in due course. Children would thoroughly enjoy every moment of the learning experience here, attractive presentation and so informative. I thought linking ‘The Salmon of Knowledge’ to food nutrition was very clever indeed. The the story links up on many levels
Geographical, Creative Arts, Aquaculture and Folklore.
I really enjoyed learning about the many career options available within the industry.
I have to agree with many participants when they say that Aquaculture is an important resource within the Irish economy and is rich in career potential for Ireland. It requires us as educators to support it.
ARC provides a rich foundation for integrating STEM Ed. and it supports the SSE process within a school.
