Ocean Explorer Visit

We were lucky enough to have a visit from the lovely Riley from Ocean Explorers today. She gave us a very informative and interesting talk about looking after our Hauraki Gulf.

Comment below with something interesting you learnt today.


 The Bryde Whale can measure up to 15metres!! Check out Tamati and Bitner measuring it out with rope - it's as long as our hall!!
