Sustainable Fisheries Workshop
May 12, 2005
An MYP joint Science-Humanities-AOI
Environment Workshop focusing on Sustainability and how it relates
to our Local and Global Fisheries. The Focus day was organized by
the Head of Science, Head of Humanities and the AOI Environment Coordinator,
providing students with an unique "in-house" experiential learning opportunity.
Following the links below to see
pictures of the day as well as further information on our community partners
in working towards Sustainability.
The afternoon session of the Workshop
was focused on Hong Kong's fishing industry. Two local experts, Dr.
Y. M. Mak of the HK Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department
and Mr. Eric Bohm, CEO of World Wildlife Foundation, gave background
talks about the local conditions. Afterwards, students were challenged
with: "What can we do as consumers
of fish to support sustainable fisheries?". The results
from the activities are published - follow the above links to them.
