oceanography relevance coastline population reference

According to NOAA, over half of the population of the United States lives within 50 miles of the coastline. This trend holds up over the vast majority of the world, and many countries in East Asia show an even greater build up along coastlines. Humans have, and continue to rely heavily on ocean resources for their livelihood. The continued concentration of human life in these areas creates great stress on marine ecosystems.

It can be aimed at:
bullet

A whole class
bullet

Groups within the class
bullet

Individuals

Some people still deny that differentiation exists: http://education.guardian.co.uk/egweekly/story/0,5500,897299,00.html is a very hostile article in the Education Guardian, describing differentiation as 'just another pressure meted out by managers', and showing a clear misunderstanding of what differentiation is!
