Description
Bring real-world marine science into your classroom with this Atlantic Cod and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) Case Study. This resource helps students explore marine conservation while practicing essential AICE Marine Science exam skills.
Students investigate the recovery of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in Norwegian MPAs. They examine how fishing restrictions, habitat protection, and the spillover effect can support fish populations and sustainable fisheries.
Students will practice:
- Applying knowledge of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
- Explaining how MPAs support fish population recovery
- Evaluating the spillover effect
- Examining fishing restrictions and habitat conservation
- Analyzing fish biomass data
- Calculating and interpreting chi-squared (χ²)
- Comparing results with a critical value
- Drawing conclusions from statistical results
- Identifying limitations in an investigation
- Suggesting improvements to experimental design
- Explaining how repeated measurements improve reliability
The resource includes AICE-style questions, data analysis, statistical calculations, and a complete answer key. It is ideal for classroom practice, independent work, homework, review, or exam preparation.
Designed for Cambridge AICE Marine Science, this case study connects marine conservation concepts with practical data-handling and exam skills.
