South Taranaki Reef Life Project

Exhibiting December 2016 to April 2017 at Aotea Utanganui, the Museum of South Taranaki – based in Patea.

Thanks to the Hawera Intermediate School ‘Coastblitz Ohawe’ kids, for gathering such a wonderful collection of sponges from the Ohawe beach – to add to the exhibition’s video and photograph collection. The stunning display is thanks to the hard work and creativity of the museum curators Cameron and Luana.
