This month we look at a fascinating new NATURE program about the biggest, fastest, most dangerous gamefish in the sea. "Superfish" is a vivid exploration of the lives and habitats of the remarkable billfish, a species that includes sailfish, swordfish, and marlin. Our Superfish lesson plan looks at their lives, habits and threatened existence. A related lesson plan, "Sharkland," introduces students to an ocean habitat off the African shores where unusual currents result in such occurrences as penguins existing on the same latitude as coral reefs, and 140 species of sharks living side by side.
