The Baltic Sea - Lessons to learn about fishery/eutrophication

No one wants the cod to disappear. Still we let it happen. Why?

This material addresses students from the age of 13. It gives examples of ways to deal with the issue of the Baltic Sea environment, with a particular focus on the two films "For Cod's Sake" and "Dirty Waters".

What is the current situation? What can you do to improve it? Who is responsible for the current problems? How are other parts of the world affected?

The tasks are proposed to be worked with either before, during or after watching the films, but of course one can make use of the tasks whenever it seems appropriate.

New: Suggestions for a lesson

Our mission is to let as many people learn about the Baltic Sea. Therefore we try to make it as easy for you as possible to include the topic in your class. From now on we will - on a regular basis - provide you with suggestions for a lesson.
