Synopsis
This film follows a group of students through the Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) programme, which takes them from their classroom to their own local marine environment and then to a fully protected marine reserve. We witness the excitement the students experience by discovering the diversity and multitude of marine life. As a result they lead action projects and become kaitiaki of their marine environment.
