Projects

Students and teachers from three local schools near Tomahawk Lagoon in Dunedin, along with community members and water quality experts, are investigating how healthy their lagoon is and why algae grows there.

How many moths are there? Where are they found? Are they affected by artificial light and, if so, how? Students in Otago take a look at our butterflies of the night.

Schools, local groups and scientists are monitoring sites, collecting data and photographing marine communities in the Otago Harbour area. Over time this will show any changes to the species and habitats after dredging.
