FOR TEACHERS: What are Marine Dead Zones?
Dead zones are places where biological systems have been severely affected by the loss of oxygen in the water. Although some bacteria flourish feasting on dead plankton and other organisms who cannot otherwise migrate away from the affected area.
Dead zones can occur naturally however it is no coincidence that dead zones are increasing around the world. They occur often at river mouths and receiving waters that are collection points for runoff. Increased human activities have lead to greater amounts of nutrients and other pollutants coming off the land from wind and water.
The link below is for an educational presentation describing the history of research related to Chesapeake Bay, with an emphasis on new insights into what controls the size of the dead zone, how its size has varied in past, and what we should expect in future decades. There are other case studies of interest also.

FISH AND PEOPLE; a new educational series for students and teachers
Fish and People is a 5 module video education series with accompanying lesson plans and teaching resources developed using animation to visualise invisible life cycle and fishery management concepts. While the original target audience was the high school system in the Solomon Islands and PNG, F & P is proving popular with a much broader range of audiences across the Indo Pacific. The program's plain language style and engaging motion graphic explanations span introductory life cycle explanations through to first year university level marine ecology and fisheries biology concepts. F & P also covers the processes that underpin the importance and function of spawning aggregations: (e.g. larval dispersal, size at maturity, fecundity etc.).
Based on an original idea by Simon Foale, and co-written with Russell Kelley who developed and directed the program's engaging graphical storytelling, Fish and People overcomes the communication problem created by the invisibility of much of the life cycle associated with coral reef species. Fish and People is a comprehensive animated explanation of: (1) reef species life cycles, (2) larval dispersal / planktonic concepts, (3) population biology processes, and, (4) the application of the above to fishery and marine protected area management.
Fish and People's exquisite motion graphics and best practice communication design are supported by teacher lesson plans for each of the modules.
You can get a quick fix of the scope and style of the motion graphic storytelling by watching Module 4 here:
You can see all the movies in the Fish and People Vimeo channel here:
