Exploring our moana – Experiencing Marine Reserves programmes 

This month Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) Taranaki Coordinator Rachel had a busy and rewarding month leading an action-packed month of marine learning. With additional support from Toi Foundation, they were able to work with five schools this year—Spotswood College, Devon Intermediate, and Oakura School—along with Highlands Intermediate and the Green School. Students learned about marine biodiversity and practised their snorkel skills in the pool before exploring the reefs of Ngāmotu Beach. 

Seaweek wrapped up with a perfect day for a Community Snorkel: 54 snorkelers, calm seas, and incredible marine life sightings from jellyfish to red moki.
