Description: Human activity can have an effect on marine ecosystems, in cascading ways. What is the correlation between the farming of a PEI potato and the overabundance of ulva (sea lettuce) in Malpeque Bay? Further, how might the ulva be choking out the bay’s eelgrass: a habitat critical for so many species? Ultimately, it’s all a matter of balance.

Interactive experience | 30 minutes

Description: During this interactive experience, students will explore how changes to certain variables impact the health of eelgrass in Malpeque Bay, and therefore the survival of other species in the habitat. Students will use the data they collect during the experience to create data visualizations, then share their work with friends and classmates.

Description: Anisha sets sail with Andrew, in order to get to the bottom of the Bay of Fundy’s food chain. Anisha discovers three quick links which make up this chain: from foundational phytoplankton, to tiny crustacean copepods, to mighty whales. Every creature must eat to survive, and their underwater food chain is what binds the ocean together.

Description: This animation is a history of cod, as inspired by Mi’kmaw storytelling tradition. Little Fish inherits the history of her species from the tales of her Grandmother: from creation, through thousands of years of “Netukulimk” (harmony with nature), to modern industrial devastation. As Little Fish becomes a Grandmother herself, she continues this oral tradition with a renewed hope for the future… and for the return of “Netukulimk”.

Description: In the immense vastness of the Pacific Ocean, a small island off the coast of Costa Rica provides a safe haven for marine species who make grueling migrations through this gigantic ecosystem. Cocos Island is an extinct volcano where life has flourished and provided a sanctuary for species such as sharks, turtles, and dolphins. It’s like an open sea laboratory and the perfect place for Sergio and Boris to study the migratory habits of the animals that come to this otherwise uninhabited island.

360° video | 3 minutes

Description: Migrations across the ocean are often grueling journeys that can last for weeks or even months. These treks require large stores of energy that many species get from feeding at places like Cocos Island. Observe how valuable nutrients from the land nourish a wide range of animals in the ocean.

Description: Studying a place like the open ocean is not easy. For one, it’s deep. Really deep. And that makes getting there extremely difficult. But Sergio and Boris need to reposition a lost acoustic receiver at the seamount of Las Gemelas. But it’s down much further than they could ever go in scuba gear. Time to launch the submarine. The DeepSee submersible is designed to take Sergio and Boris deeper than they’ve ever been before.

Description: Sergio and Boris are preparing to enter the shark-filled waters of Cocos Island as Alex Hearn and Randall explain the different tagging systems and how they work. As the team goes over the final preparations before the dive, Alex demonstrates how to physically tag the sharks when close.

Description: Choose your own adventure on Cocos Island. This 360 video allows you to use your powers of observation and seek out things that lead to all new environments. Will it be in the sky? Or on the land? Or even below the water. You get to explore by activating your learning skills and making powerful observations.

Description: Take the plunge! Dive in the waters around Cocos Island in the rainy and dry seasons to observe the wildlife. What are they doing here? Collaborate in a virtual scavenger hunt to discover information about different species who frequent Cocos Island and why the seamount habitat matters to them.

Description: This video takes a close look at nursery areas — special areas where young animals are born. The mangroves are vital nursery grounds for hammerheads, and beaches are critical areas for sea turtle nesting. How can we identify and protect these important places?

Video | 6 minutes

Description: Studying a migratory species like scalloped hammerhead sharks is a challenging, long-range mission. Sergio returns from a dive with a recovered receiver. Guided by marine biologists Alex Hearn and Elpis Chavis, the team downloads and deciphers the data. Alex explains how the receivers collect data, and how scientists combine receiver data with other information to paint a more complete picture of species migratory patterns.

Description: One of the only ways we’re able to know where sharks and other marine life go when they leave Cocos Island is by tagging them with acoustic or satellite tags. These tags allow us to track their movements and give us a more accurate picture of the pathways some of these endangered species follow. If we can figure out where these animals go in the open ocean we can extend our protection efforts beyond just Cocos Island.

Description: Cocos Island National Park is a national conservation area with strict fishing restrictions and protections. But illegal, unreported, and unsustainable harvesting is still happening. We’ll explore why illegal fishing continues, and what the rangers are doing to stop it.
