Experiencing Marine Reserves
Programme
From rockpool surveys using glass bottom buckets to teaching an entire class to snorkel (including teachers and parents)… These are among an amazing array of activities undertaken by pupils from Houghton Valley School as part of the Experiencing Marine Reserves partnership programme, coordinated by the Wellington Marine Conservation Trust, which operates the Marine Education Centre in Island Bay, Wellington, with support from DOC, the Wellington City Council, Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust, the Tindall Foundation, Oceanics NZ (who generously provided nice warm wetsuits) and the team from Splash Gordon Dive Centre.
