Description
Herring Hazards is included in a larger unit of study developed by National Geographic to help students identify the issues and terminology related to fisheries sustainability.
The video explores the herring population and suggests that while the fish may not be large in size, a herring's importance as a source of food is big. Critics in the video argue that herring are an essential pillar of the food chain and their numbers are threatened by inadequate management regimes and by technology that literally vacuums the ocean.
General Assessment
Recommendation of how and where to use it
Herring Hazards has particular application for those units of study where resource management and sustainable development intersect. These units are most often found in Geography, Environmental Science and Social Studies courses. Units of study in Biology, Ecology, and Oceanography will also have relevance as students examine the reasons for fish stock decline.
Herring Hazards is part of a compilation and would be best used within the context of that compilation, in order to take advantage of the associated lesson plans.
