Where Lakes Meet the Sea
Activities

  • Field Observation and Mapping
    Students visit a nearby coastal lake (Tekirghiol, Siutghiol, Tașaul, or Tăbăcărie) to observe its connection to the Black Sea. They take notes, sketch maps of the shoreline, and identify natural and human-made features.
  • Biodiversity Spotting
    With binoculars and simple field guides, students record bird species, plants, and aquatic organisms. They compare what they see with information about migratory birds and fish that depend on the coastal lakes as part of larger ocean ecosystems.
  • Water Quality Testing
    Using simple kits, students measure parameters like salinity, pH, and turbidity. They discuss how water quality links the lake to both the sea and human activities around it.
  • Human Impact Study
    Students document signs of pollution, urban development, or tourism pressure. They reflect on how local actions affect not only the lake but also the Black Sea environment beyond.
  • Ocean Literacy Workshop
    In class, students connect their observations to the seven principles of Ocean Literacy (e.g., “The ocean shapes the features of Earth” or “The ocean and humans are interconnected”). They create posters or digital slides to illustrate these connections.
  • Creative Communication Project
    Groups design awareness campaigns—posters, videos, or social media content—showing why protecting coastal lakes matters for the health of the Black Sea and global oceans.
  • Reflection and Action Plan
    Students write short reflections on what they learned and propose local actions (clean-ups, awareness events, citizen science) to help protect these fragile ecosystems.
