Fishery



Abstract
The ocean is a valuable resource for food and income. All countries and cultures have their own traditions when it comes to eating fish or fishing. Overfishing has led to a decrease in the diversity of sea life; damaging coral and diminishing certain types of fish and other sea animals. Fishing links very closely to the daily lives and diets of students. In this activity students are asked to investigate the case of dynamite fishing in Tanzania. This activity is multi- and interdisciplinary with a base in physics, chemistry and biology. During the tasks students will find out more about sound waves, connect biological consequences to physical changes and understand how chemical characteristics attribute to physical phenomena
