Queensland’s sustainable fishing strategy
Access denied
Introduction
Students learn about overfishing, its effect on fishing stocks and consider sustainable fishing strategies being implemented by the Queensland Government.
This activity focuses on the geographical concepts of place, space, environment, interconnection, sustainability and change.
Achievement standard
By the end of Year 9, students explain how peoples’ activities or environmental processes change the characteristics of places. They explain the effects of human activity on environments, and the effects of environments on human activity. They explain the features of biomes’ distribution and identify implications for environments. They analyse the interconnections between people and places and environments. They identify and explain how these interconnections influence people, and change places and environments. Students analyse strategies to address a geographical phenomenon or challenge using environmental, social or economic criteria.
Students develop a range of questions about a geographical phenomenon or challenge. They collect, represent and compare relevant and reliable geographical data and information by using a range of primary research methods and secondary research materials in a range of formats. They interpret and analyse data and information to explain patterns and trends and infer relationships. They draw evidence-based conclusions about the impact of the geographical phenomenon or challenge. They develop and evaluate strategies, predict impacts and make a recommendation. Students use geographical knowledge, concepts, terms and digital tools as appropriate to develop descriptions, explanations and responses that acknowledge research findings.

Suggested activity sequence
This sequence is intended as a framework to be modified and adapted by teachers to suit the needs of a class group. If you assign this activity to a class, your students will be assigned all student resources on their 'My learning' page. You can also hand-pick the resources students are assigned by selecting individual resources when you add a work item to a class in 'My classes'.
- Display and explain or discuss information on the visualiser.
- Play: Sustainably managing our fisheries. This video is about how fisheries can be sustainably managed.
- As you play the video, students complete the video questions on the worksheet
- Students complete the remaining questions on the worksheet. This includes writing 2 paragraphs.
