Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust - EMR & WBC
Established in 2002 in Northland, Mountains to Sea sees education as a vital part of society and central to all environmental restoration. Our marine and freshwater programmes involve young people, their parents and the wider community. The Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) and Whitebait Connection (WBC) programmes reinforce simple concepts such as the uniqueness of our freshwater and marine biodiversity and provide an active focus on conservation of these environments through education and action.
