A collaborative conservation project to rewild the Hauraki Gulf with green lipped mussels/kūtai is underway.
The joint initiative between Kelly Tarlton's Marine Wildlife Trust, the University of Auckland's Institute of Marine Science and the group, Revive Our Gulf is focused on finding if there's a particular seaweed that might entice the spat to start a community on the ocean floor.
Kathryn discusses initiatives aimed at restoring the health of the Hauraki Gulf with global Aquarium industry consultant, and trustee with Kelly Tarlton Marine Wildlife Trust, Craig Thorburn, who is managing the mussel spat experiment and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei general manager for the environment/Pou Taiao, Kingi Makoare
