 | Guiding Inquiry: How are the freshwater ecosystems different than the marine systems and where are they located? Guiding Thought Question: What is more important? The protecting the spawning areas of fish and aquatic species or open seas/deep waters? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine and be able to explain issues related to freshwater regions and further dive into concerns related to the regions in their unit portfolio (3.3.a, 3.2.a) |

I believe that both are important but the protection of open seas/deep waters also contributes to protecting the spawning areas to a certain extent (i.e if an oil spill were to occur it would damage both the spawn area if there is one and the waters along with many other species in the given area of the said spill). Protecting the open waters helps to protect not just the fish but much more aquatic life too.

i think it's more important to protect spawning areas of fish and aquatic species. the open ocean is too large and broad to protect especially because it's international waters. spawning areas are typically closer to shore and smaller in size which makes them much easier to protect.

I would say that right now the most important is protecting spawning areas because without fish thousands of new problems will crop up and it will be the most direct way of fixing aquatic habitats.

It is more important to protect the spawning areas, cause that is where more fish are made and where they congregate. In the open waters, it is harder to wipe out an entire population because they are more spread out. In spawning areas, entire populations can congregate in one area, making them really easy to make extinct.

Spawning areas are more important as without them the population of fish species would drastically decrease. Deep/ocean opens are far to vast to focus on protecting while it would be easier to protect a smaller area.

spawning areas are probably more important than deep ocean because that’s where the fish come from! so by protecting the place where fish come from, it is more likely that the fish will be successful in living out their fish lives. if we protect the spawning areas, we get more fish!

I think that both are important in the long run, but right now spawing areas are super duper important because as biodiversity decreases rapidly we have to try to foster the young population as much as possible. If there are no fish left it doesn't matter anymore.

The spawning areas are the ones that need to be protected. Without them the amount of fish will decrease drastically. Deep oceans are way too vast to completely protect them 3/24/2022 12:30:40 pm
Spawning areas, because what is the point of protecting areas of open seas/deep waters if there would be less fish which would be te results of not protecting the spawning areas

Protecting spawning areas are more important for immediate protection because the efficiency and health of the spawning areas determines the future population of the fish. Without spawning areas, the fish population would decrease, thus decreasing the biodiversity of the area and negatively impacting ecological systems.

they are both important but honestly i think the protecting the spawning areas might be more important if you had to pick one right this second because we don't need the population of fish to die and that's a long term problem but in general we need to protect both because they both have a massive impact on the world so they need to both be protected.
