Design
a conservation poster
Activity
A 1991 National Research Bureau survey found that just over
half the public were aware there are certain limits on the
number of fish a recreational fisher may catch in a day. Most
of the remainder were unsure (31 percent), while just under
one in five believed there are no limits.
 |
|
|
| Demographic
groups most aware of the existence of limits were: |
 |
Males |
|
Those
aged 30 and over |
|
Europeans |
|
South
Islanders |
|
Those
who have fished in the last 12 months |
|
Those
in the highest household income bracket |
Discuss
these findings with the class and then design a poster to
get across the message people need to conserve fish and obey
the amateur fishing regulations. (These regulations control
fishing limits, fish size and types of fishing gear. There
are also closed areas and closed seasons for some species.)

| Before
you start think about: |
|
Your
audience, eg, are you aiming your poster at other young
people, a particular cultural group or the general public;
and |
|
The
message you want to convey. |
