Love Rimurimu – an ocean of potential for seaweed is a year-long inquiry supported by Mountains to Sea – with exploration in the classroom and in the field. You can also dip into resources covering biodiversity, human impacts and restoration for short-term studies. Several resources are in te reo Māori, courtesy of Te Aho Tū Roa.

One of these snorkel events could be a spring board into celebrating Seaweek – Kaupapa Moana at the start of March – we’ve curated unit plans and other teacher support materials into marine-related teaching topics.
