World Ocean Day at MERC will kick off our Ngā Kōrero III event series supported by UNESCO and will explore the Ocean Literacy Principle: The ocean and marine life shape features of Earth.
Come along to learn about our local area and the larger forces at play all over the earth. This will begin with a geology-focused upper rocky shore walk followed by a complimentary hot lunch. For the afternoon we have a range of activities to choose from:
~On the water activities such as GSUP or giant stand-up paddleboard (activity options will be weather-dependent)
~Interactive exhibits including an Augmented Reality (AR) sandbox from AUT
~Opportunities to engage with experts and take action for our ocean
~Crafts and more!
We'll finish off the day with a sunset swim- an annual feature of our Seaweek World Ocean Day celebrations at MERC!
