Lesson 1
Introduction:
Start with a class discussion where students say what they think of when they hear the word “sustainable”. What does this mean for them? In what context have they heard it before? What can be sustainable when thinking about the sea? Do they think it matters in their own lives; the lives of their children and grandchildren; People in other parts of the world? Can they themselves change something so that the use of the sea becomes more sustainable? Discuss first in groups of 2, and then in plenary.

Way to fish
The students investigate the different ways of fishing and how these methods affects the environment.
In groups, students draw a fishing method (print x number of sheets of the 6 different worksheets with fishing methods). They search for information on the web, where they describe the and advantages and disadvantages:
Worksheet Annex 1:

The students visit each other in groups and present the result to each other.
Investigate the local store/supermarket
The students go to the local supermarkets in groups to investigate the fish sold with MSC markings. They must choose a product group in advance, so that most product groups with fish are covered, e.g., preserves, herring, fresh fish, etc. They need to count the selection of the item group, as well as count the number of items that are MSC-labeled. Students must use the data collected to calculate the percentage of products that are MSC-labeled. Students show their results in percentage charts in Sheets. (Can possibly be gathered on a common platform, e. g., in "Paddle".)
Discussion
Students discuss why one should choose labeled products and whether they think consumers will choose labeled items.
