For the 2014 Science Fair FBCS will aim to raise awareness of the importance of conserving our beautiful Coral Reef here in Cayman.
Grade 5 will focus on the Nassau Grouper – why this fish is so important, what can we do to conserve the fish and how this effects the Coral Reef.
Check out www.reef.org/groupermoonproject for more information.
We will aim to answer the following questions –
What is a Nassau Grouper?
What is the role of the Nassau Grouper in maintaining a healthy, reef ecosystem?
What is a keystone species?
What is a spawning aggregation?
What is the role of the Nassau Grouper in the Cayman fishing community?
How do we protect the survival of the Nassau Grouper and the health of the reef, while meeting the needs of the fishing community?
