The Blog was initiated as part of the inaugural "Sustainability Across the Curriculum" workshop, held at SMU on May 12, 2010. This is part of the Teacher Scholar programme for 2010-2011. If you have any posts, curriculum, ideas or inspired content that you would like to include, please send it to Dr. Cathy Conrad, the 2010-2011 Teaching Scholar, Associate Professor of the Department of Geography. I look forward to moderating this site and linking useful and relevant information. I hope you find it useful!

It sounds like a great step in the right direction; it is about time the governments of the world did something about these growing problems.
I agree. However, its too bad that it's taken so long, and a draft of the agreement is only going to be presented in 2009. It sounds like there will be at least a couple of years before the agreement is approved.
On this subject, The National Geographic for April 2007 has a big feature on 'The Global Fish Crisis'. It looks at wasteful management practices, the Mediterranean bluefin tuna, New Zealand marine reserves, and effects of the collapse of the cod industry in a Newfoundland village. Also, the article, as always, has tonnes of 'captivating' images. Can be found on the magazine shelves of the reference room at the SMU Library.
