Experience the wonder of underwater Aotearoa through virtual reality.


This is an engaging, inspiring and educational one-hour session where you can experience VR videos filmed by New Zealand Geographic in marine environments around Aotearoa. Compare northern marine environments with ones in the deep south, and pristine marine environments with degraded ones. Investigate what causes this damage with a focus on overfishing and pollution, as well as what actions can be taken to show kaitiakitanga and protect the moana.
