Level 5 Guided Question:What would make seafood production more sustainable?
Each of you will work in groups to read about seafood production practices and document the ecological impacts and potential advantages of each. Read the Seafood: Wild and Farmed primer and the Seafood Production Handout. The class will be divided into eight table groups and assign half the groups the Wild Caught Seafood section and the other half the Aquaculture: Farming Seafood section. All groups should read the background section. Have students read their sections in groups and record on their handouts: 1) the different methods in their section, 2) the ecological impacts of each method, and 3) the potential advantages of each method record your research on the Seafood Production Handout. Answer the following questions as you read the primer:
◼ Which methods seem the most sustainable and why?
◼ Which methods seem the least sustainable and why?
◼ In general, which seems more sustainable: aquaculture or harvesting seafood from the wild? Why? If time allows, have students debate the merits of each.
◼ What can governments do to reduce ecological harms caused by seafood production? What can individuals do?
Choose two from your group to present the above answers.

- If all Americans followed recommendations for seafood consumption, could production keep up with demand?
You will take selfie VDOs on your answers and submit them to your instructor who will with your permission post them on Instagram.
