School of the Ocean
Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) is a national programme of experiential learning about marine conservation. Our programme empowers by providing hands-on experience in the ocean. The programme sets kids abuzz before progressing to developing their snorkelling skills in a pool then heading to the real marine environment. We increase awareness and encourage action and support for marine conservation.
Ten regions of NZ
EMR has a team of 27 coordinators based in eight regions and two satellite regions.
