Food: Different by Design - Live from Taronga Zoo

Thursday 11 March, 2 pm AEDT/Sydney

There are almost 8 billion people living in the world today, and many of us depend on seafood as a primary source of protein and essential nutrients. So how can we feed a growing population without causing environmental harm to our oceans and waterways?

In this free Virtual Classroom event students will learn about the design of our Australia's seafood industries for a future full of fish. We will look at how wild fisheries are reducing bycatch like turtles and seals from being caught in their nets, and how Australian fish farms are using design innovation for responsible aquaculture.

We'll meet a seal from Taronga Zoo, visit workers on a fish farm, learn about innovation at a fishery and do Q&A with a shark expert!

This event marks the launch of the new MSC and ASC Teacher Resource on the theme of Food: Different by Design.
