Meet the Seaweeds: After-work seaweed info session with Love Rimurimu

Curious about our native rimurimu? 

Have a go at identifying some of our local seaweed species at this hands on, after work seaweed session (we’ll be bringing the ocean to you from the comfort of 2/57!). You can find out more about the Love Rimurimu project, and meet the team working to restore the seaweed of Wellington's harbour. 

What’s Love Rimurimu? Imagine the waters of Wellington sustaining a healthy and vibrant ocean forest; able to absorb more carbon than trees, improving water quality and providing habitat for thousands of marine creatures. Regenerating our seaweed forests is a way to make this a reality - and it’s what this project is all about.

Interested in volunteering with Mountains to Sea Wellington? Come along and we can have a chat about opportunities available- our volunteers help us on land and in the water, we'd love for you to join us! 

Seaweed Series: This event is part of a series of events introducing folks to the seaweeds/rimurimu of Wellington. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary to take part in these events, just a bit of seaweed curiosity!

If you want to leave with one of our beautiful waterproof underwater guides these can be bought for $15 on the day, or download for free on our resources page.
