Assignment #5: Fishing Simulation
Assignment #5: Fishing Simulation
In class, you will participate in a fishing simulation exercise. Your goal is to gain as much money as possible. Below are the specifics and options for the game:
- Boat (Supplies will always be $25,000 per fishing season)
- Spoon ($275,000 purchase with a loan)
- Paper square ($200,000 purchase with a loan)
- Each fishing season will be 30 seconds
- You will need to travel from your "port" to the "fishing grounds" and back.
- A fish cannot be dropped from your boat (you will need to clean up and start again)
- All fishing rules will need to be followed (determined by teacher)
- Market Price (two dice will be rolled, the sum of the dice will be the price per fish caught) [varier per season]
- Survival of fishes (a card will be selected from the deck to determine the success of the ocean stock)
- Red (# x 10) = Percentage dead
- Black (# x 10) = Percentage reproduced
- Face cards = No change (red or black)
Reflection
Reflection
In a three to four paragraph reflection, you will process and analyze your experiences in the fishing simulation activity (completed in class).
Suggested outline and guiding questions:
- Describe what happened in the simulation.
- What are the limitations of the simulation?
- Did the fishing simulation sustain a healthy fishing stock? Why or why not?
- Why are fishing regulations and season important for a healthy ocean and sustainable?
