Judgement of Water


Objective:

To establish a national IT network linking coastal communities focused on a common heritage arising from the use of coastal and marine natural resources for industry, tourism and conservation.

     Aims
  • to further the use of information technology for individualised learning in schools and communities;
  • to encourage the local gathering and national exchange of information between communities about their past in relation to current plans for economic sustainable development;
  • to provide an easily accessible, updatable, national educational resource about using marine environment for cross-curricular work on the themes of sustainable development and ecological awareness.





" When you were herrin' catchin' you looked for the colour o' the water. Some o' these ol' skippers even reckoned they could taste 'em in the air, but I aren't goin' as far as that.  I don't think they could.  But the water'd often be milky and oily, and that meant herrin'.  People used t'have the judgement of water.
