You may love your local beach, but how well do you really know it? The intertidal zone is absolutely bursting with life – which is often overlooked! In this workshop you;ll be conducting a rocky shore survey with Marine Metre Squared at Kohimarama Beach. With experts there to guide you, you’ll rediscover the rocky shore and meet creatures you didn’t even know existed! You’ll also be contributing to a national database of intertidal data.

The intertidal zone is more than just an interesting ecosystem  – it can provide an early warning sign of environmental issues that could potentially impact the wider marine ecosystem By monitoring the intertidal zone all around new Zealand, the team at MM2 are keeping an out out for those early warning signs – buy taking part, you’re helping them with this important task!

This excursion timing is dependant on the tides – the time will be announced closer to the date.
