This is the fourth blog post in this series dealing with seawater chemistry and global maritime trade. In this classroom activity students predict the buoyancy (and hence stability) of a merchant cargo ship based on interpretation of seawater surface salinity values.

This is the third blog post of the seawater-oceanic shipping series. Like the previous two posts (first and second) this classroom activity:

Maritime shipping is the backbone of global commerce and trade. In 2020 a mind-boggling 1.9 billion metric tons (4,188,782,981,513 pounds) of cargo criss-crossed Earth's largest geographical features- the expansive, featureless oceans and seas (1).
