Environmental education tool uses fishing to enhance youth understanding of aquatic environments, suggesting effective learning.
To help adults use angling as a tool to teach youth about the aquatic environment, six "Fishing for Cleaner Waters" posters were developed by the Ohio Sea Grant College Program. Each 12" by 18" polyethylene poster has a different environmental message, a line drawing of a popular sport fish, angling tips, and information on the fishes' habitat and spawning habits. Species covered include walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, crappie, and sunfish. Evaluations indicate that the posters were useful in helping youth learn more about fish and the aquatic environment.
