Intro to Marine Biology Vocabulary
Task 2: Watch
A Census of the Ocean (you only have to watch the first 10 minutes)
In the comments box below:
1. Write down 5 facts stated in the first couple of minutes of the speech.
2. Identify marine life that you saw at the Sea Center yesterday
3. What is one device used in the video that is on display at the Sea Center (hint: it was hanging in the Wet Deck)
Task 3: Activity
You do not have to watch all videos but you should research the speakers from the 7 videos to understand their position on The Deep Ocean
Reference the Summary Analysis section to get ideas Summary Analysis
Imagine that on behalf of a government agency (e.g., U.S. congressional subcommittee), you are organizing an important hearing concerning the deep ocean. You've invited all seven of the TED speakers featured in The Deep Ocean, among others, and have asked them to address the following questions:
- Why should we care about the deep ocean?
- What should "care" entail? This may include the establishment of marine protected areas, incentives to pursue deep-sea marine biotechnology or mining, increased funding and authority for regulatory agencies or researchers, ratification of international agreements, or other measures.
How would each of the TED speakers answer these questions? Based on how their responses might be similar or different from one another's, how would you order the speakers on the hearing agenda, and why?
Please submit all answers in the comments box below!
Once you are finished, enjoy this video :)

Due to the fact that some of these Ted Talks are more informative and some are more entertaining I would order them accordingly. I would start off with the more entertaining Ted Talks to raise interest in the matter. The Talks I would start off with would be David Gallo, Mike deGruy, and Robert Ballard. Then I would order the more informative talkers Edith Widder and Sylvia Earle.
