Episode Details

A generous bequest from a woman who visited Kaikōura fifteen years ago has made marine education a reality for local kids. The Young Marine Biologists Programme, launched by Dr. Jody Weir, offers hands-on learning experiences, from tracing the journey of water to releasing downed birds. The program has been a massive success, with plans to explore local wildlife such as fur seals, dolphins, marine invertebrates, reptiles, and even whales. Dr. Weir aims to run the program again next year, but securing ongoing funding is crucial for its continued success.
