Sediments and Seashores Project
|
|
A new Sediments and Seashores project is being launched this month. Using Marine Metre Squared techniques, the project will investigate what effect the increased dredging of Otago Harbour may have on the rocky shore communities which surround it and involves primary and secondary students from a number of schools around Dunedin.

Te Reo Māori Seashore Guides
|
|
The Rocky Shore Guides and the Sandy and Muddy Shore Guides are available in te reo Māori. We understand that there are regional differences and that whānau, hapū and iwi have their own names for creatures in their area. If you are able to help by adding a Māori name or regional variation we would like to hear from you. Please email:
