Court métrage documentaire qui dresse le portrait de l'industrie de la pêche de coques au Nouveau-Brunswick. Des touristes curieux qui font la queue devant un casse-croûte pour déguster les fameuses coques frites ou fried clams. Des familles entières qui pêchent le coquillage blanc sur la batture, pantalons relevés et nez au vent. Ces tableaux de la vie quotidienne des Acadiens des Maritimes se raréfient en même temps que la ressource. Les pêcheurs de coques du parc national Kouchibouguac en savent quelque chose. Ils n'échappent pas à la triste réalité des pêcheries du monde entier et la viabilité de leur métier est en péril. La dernière batture raconte le déclin de ce mollusque qui engendre l'effritement d'une coutume et d'un mode de vie.

Education

Ages 15 to 16
School subjects
In a geography class, ask students to think about the main environmental challenges facing communities that depend on natural resources. For example, compare the situation of clam fishermen in the national park Kouchibouguac with another region of Canada that also depends on a natural resource. Then consider whether the problems are the same and whether human activity is destroying a way of life?
