Abstract	This inquiry-based activity provides a real-world example that connects to students' everyday seafood choices. In fact, many students went home and insisted to their parents that they should only buy "green" seafood choices. It was also an effective activity because students were able to use what they learned about ocean ecosystems and apply it to a diagram of a local terrestrial ecosystem. As a result of this activity, students have a better understanding of how we impact food webs and why they are important for a healthy, functioning natural world. (Contains 2 figures.) (As Provided).
