Dear Educator,

We have always been dependent on the world ocean for our survival. Even those

of us in the centre of the world’s largest continents depend on the Earth’s

largest bodies of water, if not for trade, culture, or food, then for the vital

role they play in our weather and climate.

By completing the missions in this booklet your students will rethink their

relationship with the world ocean through the seafood they eat. Do not go any

further if you are afraid of going on adventures or tasting new things.

This is a special “seafood” version of Mission:Explore Food (a big book of 159

missions) and inside you will find 20 seafood-related missions—some have

been adapted and some are written specially for this booklet. Each mission

will help your students think differently about their relationship with not

only seafood but also the ocean, people, places and systems that they are

connected to.

The challenge is for (you and) your students to complete and record the

mission-based learning activities that you’ll find on the following pages.

Each of the illustrated activities that you find in this booklet are

appropriate for learners of all ages, but younger learners will need more

support to get going, and we’re sure you’ll be expecting much more

sophisticated responses from more advanced students. This is a Creative

Commons publication, so feel free to copy and use each of the missions however

you want.

With your help, by the time your students have completed their unique copy of

this booklet they will have a deeper understanding of their interdependence

with all things seafood. They’ll also develop their creative and critical skills

in extreme exploration, guerrilla geography,

and munching on tasty stuff.

It’s time to explore.

Dear Explorer,

This booklet will change the way you see seafood forever. Reading further will

result in going on adventures, taking risks and trying new things.

The world ocean is beautiful, but it is also critical to our survival. Our

weather and climate is shaped by it. It contains vital global ecosystems. Our

economies rely on it, and it is a source of food for billions of people around

the world. Our lives depend on the world ocean.

Overfishing, climate change, and pollution are all having devastating effects

on sea life around the world. Seafood supplies are under threat. Millions of

people’s jobs are at risk and many species of fish are on the brink of

extinction.

It’s not all bad news though. There are many success stories of efforts to

protect sea life and the livelihoods of people who depend on it. You too have

the power to protect the ocean. We are all connected to our world ocean, and

by exploring and understanding these connections we can take action to

restore it.

Inside this special Mission:Explore Seafood booklet you will find 20 seafood-

related missions. Each mission explores seafood in a different way and reveals

how you are connected to the ocean. Your challenge is to complete each mission

as best you can.

By the time you have completed your unique copy of this booklet

you will be an extreme explorer, guerrilla geographer, ocean

activist, and 100% edible.

Do make sure that you have permission before attempting any

mission from this booklet, and remember, the more you put

in the more you’ll get out.

It’s time to explore.

Traffic light your seafood

Everything you buy has an effect on someone, something, and

somewhere. At stores these effects are mostly hidden.

Investigate how your seafood affects other people, wildlife, and

places by discovering the answers to these questions. Keep a traffic

light record of your findings after asking the questions below.

~ Were the people involved in your seafood given a living wage?

~ Were any creatures treated well?

~ Is your seafood sustainably harvested?

~ Was it transported a reasonable distance?

~ Was the place it came from treated well?

As a guerrilla geographer you should ask questions like

these to help you decide if you will buy a product or not.

Labels can often help, but sometimes you need to do your own

investigations.

Hold an overharvest festival

People on Earth are harvesting fish, trees, fertile soil, and other

resources more quickly than they can reproduce, regrow, and

replenish. If we don’t become smarter about what, where, when, how,

and how much we harvest, we’ll endanger the lives of creatures and

communities around the world. To raise awareness of this issue,

hold an overharvest festival.

Use this planner to help you organize your event.

~ Event name ~

~ Date ~

~ Overharvested foods to celebrate ~

~ Games ~

This mission is about living sustainably and finding a

balance. You could invent games to play where contestants

must balance in some way or avoid going too far.

Delicious dilemmas

Choose which one you think is better to eat. Why?

garlic for a week sprouts for a week

local food

wild fishfarmed fish

fair trade food

environmentally friendly food people friendly food

meat plants

chocolate potato chips

1 endangered fish 100 not endangered fish

anything everything

When you research this mission remember that the answer may

not be straightforward. Consider advantages, disadvantages,

and likely outcomes for each delicious dilemma.

Cook in acid

Make ceviche, a South American dish that’s “cooked” in citrus

juice. Try dipping tortilla chips in this vegetarian version, or

chunk it up with some very fresh sustainable fish.

4 or more limes

1 medium onion

2 tomatoes

¼ cucumber

Tortilla chips, to serve

Extras:

Sweet or chilli pepper

Coriander

Mushrooms

Fish, squid, crab or even lobster

Serving suggestion: enjoy on a beach at sunset.

Normal heating processes usually prevent fish from making

people sick. Seafood ‘cooked’ in this way can be poisonous.

Make sure that any seafood you use is very fresh.

5. Give it a final stir then

serve with the tortillas.

4. Cover and leave in the

fridge for 3 to 4 hours. The

acid in the lime will slowly

‘cook’ the vegetables and fish.

3. Squeeze the lime juice

over your vegetables so that

they are completely covered.

2. Put any waste in your

compost.

1. Chop the onion finely and

place in a mixing bowl. Chop

everything else into pieces

small enough to fit 3 or 4 on

a single tortilla chip.

Design a sustainable seafood menu

Create a three-course menu using seafood that’s good for the taste

buds, mind, body, and environment.

Design your dishes so they:

~ are tasty;

~ are healthy;

~ are fair and friendly for the growers;

~ are as friendly as possible to creatures and plants;

~ have ingredients that have travelled to you sustainably;

~ and need the least amount of energy to be cooked.

Plan your menu below. Can you persuade a local restaurant to stock

your inventions?

Alien attack

Defend your local coastline against alien invaders that are

damaging your local ecosystem. Research, hunt down, catch, cook,

and eat sea animals or plants that have invaded beaches, rock pools,

or local waters. Check out www.eattheinvaders.org for tips.

Keep count of the aliens you’ve personally digested here:

right questions.

Ditch your packaging

Food packaging is floating around the world ocean, infiltrating

the food chain and harming many sea creatures. Encourage

supermarkets to use less packaging by asking to leave all the bits

you don’t need at the cash register before taking your food home.

Keep a diary of how people respond to your actions here.

Some supermarkets encourage customers to do this so they

can understand how to reduce their packaging costs.
