This was an awesome opportunity to meet other educators in this space and hear about their programmes. I feel Seakeepers are very supportive in the educational space and hope there will be many opportunities in the future where we can collaborate to help improve our programme within school and community groups. I feel it would be beneficial to have representation from each region with people on the ground to help with sharing relevant local marine content to the educators and conservation efforts and citizen science that is a strong focus of Seakeepers. It would be ideal to have more focus or speakers and knowledge of Te Reo and Matauranga Maori in the teachers programme that can be taken back to the classroom.
