Projects

Students will be identifying the burrow areas and exploring potential issues within little blue penguin habitats.

Dunedin's primary school students are joining forces with scientists to see what things in urban greenspaces make good homes for the vulnerable velvet worm (Peripatus), and how to then create Peripatus-friendly areas at school.

The project whānau will be exploring the characterisation and connectivity of taonga species inside and outside Tapuae Marine Reserve and Ngā Motu/Sugar Loaf Islands Marine Protected Area.

The project team will build on previous work on Quarantine Island Kamau Taurua, drawing on groups from throughout the community to investigate questions.

Can students create an effective bioreactor system to grow algae and use it as an alternative fuel source? This project aims to investigate possible solutions to some major environmental issues.
