Water life for land lubbers

The opportunity to inspect the Tuhua Marine Reserve without getting wet is being presented on Thursday night at the Tauranga Environment Centre.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) is encouraging Bay of Plenty residents to get to know their local marine reserve as part of Seaweek.

The presentation will feature underwater photography from Tuhua Marine Reserve as guest speakers from DOC and the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic provide a visual tour of Tauranga’s closest marine reserve and explain how marine protection works.
The presentation begins at 7pm.
