Students age 8-12 can learn that if we look after the ocean, it will look after us. In this activity, students investigate what taking care of the ocean involves for the people who catch our fish. Take a look!

At the MSC we love to reward hard work with a sticker! Use this printable sticker sheet alongside the Teacher’s Guide and Resource. We recommend using a 1.5 inch circular sticker size but they also work as 1.5x1.5 inch squares.
