Marine Science
The University of Otago’s NZ Marine Studies Centre (NZMSC) has gone online with resources for schools across New Zealand. Of particular interest to secondary schools are the following:

• Fishy Web Cams – livestreaming from the NZMSC are the Seahorse-cam, Fish-cam, Touchpool-cam and the Wharf-cam. On the website you will also find supporting videos and resources to help you identify and learn about the species on view. Feeding, reproductive and territorial behaviours are highlighted.
• How to MARINE Science – this new learning package provides students with guidance to carry out an independent investigation in a biological context. This video series is supported by a student booklet and will focus on chitons and mussels – both easily accessible on the shore, can be held in a simple aquarium, and ethics approval is not required. If you are interested in receiving the package, please email hanna.ravn@otago.ac.nz
• Online resources – a range of resources are available on the NZMSC website
