This Curious Minds project was designed to investigate the distribution and threats to four species in Taranaki, korora/little blue penguins, reef herons, orca and seals.

Project Overview

Using citizen science to better protect coastal threatened species = If we know more about where coastal threatened species occur we can use this information to better protect them. Help us by reporting your sightings here.

Project Report

Using Project Hotspot findings to better protect

In addition to providing a resource for the community, the project outputs are also of value to decision makers, government authorities, conservation groups and industry (end users), and relevant to a wide variety of applications including oil spill response, environmental impact assessment and resource management. Improved knowledge of threatened species hotspots enables end users to better implement measures to protect these species.
