Marine Metre Squared

Metre Squared at Puketeraki  

On Monday 4th March the Senior room took part in the Metre Squared Workshop at Puketeraki.  We left school with Brendan (from the runaka) and walked along to the far end of Karitane beach near the big rocks.  We put our metre squares in the rock pools and used the rocky shore guide to identify all the things we saw.  We were amazed at what was there when you looked that closely!  We recorded this information on a tally chart which we are going to enter on the Marine Metre Squared website (www.mm2.net.nz)  Check it out.  You can compare our data with other regions in New Zealand.  We intend to do this regularly so that we can compare our data at different times of the year and from year to year, to see how things change.
