A medida que las ciudades del mundo continúan creciendo, es cada vez más importante que encontremos un balance entre urbanización y ecosistemas costeros.

Anteriormente, vimos como el Dr. Martin Attrill usó una red cónica para un estudio sobre pesca. Pero, la mayoría de las redes no se usan así. De hecho, las redes de arrastre han perturbado masivamente nuestro ambiente marino.

Nuestro consumo de comida marina es más del doble que hace 50 años. Y como la población mundial continúa creciendo, no podemos seguir pescando como lo hemos hecho. Simplemente, no es sostenible. Para entender las amenazas a la pesca y cómo manejarla mejor en el futuro, Expediciones EarthEcho viaja a la ciudad costera de Plymouth, en el Reino Unido.

The Sustainable Seafood Calendar and Cookbook was created by our Youth Leadership Council. The council is comprised of youth ages 16-22 who have sought to spread awareness about the importance of sustainability in our daily lives; specifically what we choose to eat. This eco-conscious calendar is a great download for your workspace, classroom, home or office for the next year. This calendar has been released in support of our Expedition: What's the Catch? which highlights sustainable fishing in the UK.

This calendar has been created by the EarthEcho International Youth Leadership Council. These youth, aged 16-22, designed this calendar to increase awareness and inspire behavior change to protect our collective future. The YLC invites you to use this calendar track and change your habits and, hopefully, provide monthly ideas to help you live a more sustainable, conscientious lifestyle.

Join us and Dr. Sturdivant as we take a deep dive into the preeminent scourge of our ocean, dead zones. Dead zones are hypoxic (low-oxygen) areas in the world's oceans and large lakes, caused by excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water.

Use this worksheet to allow students to reflect on their experience with a STEMExplore mentor after a Virtual Career Connection.

Around the world, young people play a critical role in protecting biodiversity and the future health of our planet. Join a panel of EarthEcho International's Youth Leadership Council members to learn about their diverse experiences in environmental conservation, discuss lessons learned for creating impactful conservation projects, and dive deeper into strategies for effectively communicating conservation messages with diverse audiences!

Explore the fascinating connection between Florida manatees and powerplants. Take a deep dive into the history of Manatee Lagoon – An FPL Eco-Discovery Center®, an educational attraction located in Riviera Beach, Fla., and the adjacent Florida Power & Light Company Riviera Beach Next Generation Clean Energy Center. Learn about the role power plants play in this threatened species’ migratory habits and survival. This 45-minute event will take place on Friday, Friday 14th at 10 a.m. EST.

Approximately 600,000 sea birds die each year by getting caught on hooks used in line fishing. Twenty-three species of sea birds facing extinction are vulnerable to these methods of fishing. A device called the Hookpod, invented by a UK company in Devon, has a clever solution to this problem. The fish hook is designed to reduce birds being caught on hooks, learn more about bycatch and the engineering of this device during our live 45-minute event, Friday, February 14th at 9 a.m. EST.
