Inspire a love for ocean animals in your workplace or home with this special Sea Creatures of Aotearoa poster. Through this poster and associated content, we aim to highlight New Zealand's unique marine species, their importance in the ecosystem and the integral role of the ocean in all our lives.
Why Celebrate Sea Creatures?
This year's theme was chosen to inspire curiosity about the weird, wonderful and fragile marine life in our big blue backyard. This colourful A1 poster features twenty of Aotearoa's native sea creatures and six popular ways that kiwis explore and experience our coastal seas. Some of the featured species are endangered, others have incredible conservation success stories and they all have very interesting lives which we still have lots to learn about. Illustrated by Giselle Clarkson for Seaweek, this resource is designed to engage everyone in learning about the sea.
