Clean Water Future Resources

Produced by Blink! Media, the new Create a Clean Future PSA "Bag" shows how easy it can be to forget about trash that may get blown out of the back of your pickup truck. Remembering to secure all loose trash can make a big difference in keeping our water clean.

"FishSlap,” the sequel to "A Redfish Tale," follows Jimbo and Thibodeaux as they provide a fish’s point of view about the impacts humans have on the health of the estuary and on the water throughout the Gulf. From shopping centers to backyards to beautiful estuarine environments,

Summary: Using a model to represent the River, Bay or another local body of water, students participate in an interactive story dramatizing how, as populations increase and resource use changes, a water body becomes polluted. This graphic example demonstrates that we are all part of the pollution problem, and that we all must be a part of the solution. Students will discuss ways to conserve our valuable resources and how each of us can reduce pollution, trash and waste each day.

A Redfish Tale uses animated redfish to explain the sources and impacts of excess nutrients in Gulf coastal waters, and how small changes in behavior can have a dramatic effect on water quality.
