Competition on Sable Island
Competition on Sable Island
Description:
Sable Island is a remote island about 180 miles (300 kilometers) east-southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The gray seals of Sable Island have been thriving, but harbor seal populations have plummeted in recent years. In this lesson, students will discuss the concept of competition in nature and will learn about competition between the gray seals and harbor seals of Sable Island. They will conclude by illustrating maps of the island to show the seals' feeding behaviors and the shark's predatory activities, and they'll write paragraphs describing their maps.
