Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson is celebrating early progress in our marine restoration pilot, following a visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s to see the first baby kelp being grown for Te Ara Tukutuku. A partnership with Mana Whenua and Toi Waihanga, the project is transforming former industrial land at Wynyard Point into a new public waterfront shaped by mātauranga Māori and science. Seaweed seedlings will be attached to artificial reef structures made partly from recycled shellfish waste, before being placed on the seabed to support regeneration. With kelp forests across the Hauraki Gulf in decline, restoring kelp is a vital step in rebuilding biodiversity and strengthening marine resilience. ℹ️Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/edXvVcrY #OurAkl #Auckland #Seaweed #MarineRestoration
