Books to Boats

The Humber Arm Atlantic Canada Action Program (ACAP) "Trading Books for Boats" has introduced an interactive marine science education program for high school students on marine ecology into the high school curriculum. This program is currently offered from the Bonne Bay Marine Station and is jointly funded by the regional school board and DFO. We will use this initiative as a model for a Trading Books for Boats program to be delivered at Bonne Bay designed for students in Grades 11 and 12 with a focus on fisheries and fish behaviour.

Distance Education Course for Fishers

Memorial University's Distance Education and Learning Technologies Division (DELT) has extensive experience in developing Continuing Education programs offered by distance. They will work with the CURRA to develop, pilot and evaluate a course for fish harvesters on marine ecology and governance. The Marine Institute and the Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board will provide advice on the development of the course and will explore the possibility of integrating it into the professionalization program once it has been piloted and evaluated.
