Teachers Information
The book was conceived by Mick O'Connor at Ballina SHS and supported by the Marine Teachers of Association of NSW and Lynda Hourigan.
After many drafts edited by Bob Moffatt and rephotographed by Mick and Lynda from 2004 - 2010, 500 copies of the book were finally published.
We ended up giving away 300 from 2015 - 2018, when the final copy was given away at an MTAQ conference, proving that its very difficult to recoup the time and expense for 10 years work and without government or sponsorship support resources like this never get off the ground.
Full credit must be given to Mick and Bob for seeing this one through.
The book has been used to generate many syllabus topics in NSW and Queensland and the ideas and concepts used by many schools for government grants. At once school, Education Queensland purpose built a $250.000 aquaculture room as part of their new science wing and at another $500,000 was allocated to a aquaculture marine center.
