Amazing Diversity / A unique microcosm of flora and fauna.
The current Speaker Series being conducted at Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum features a diverse range of topics and speakers relating to the museum’s exhibition – Kermadec.
The exhibition showcases art works from nine South Pacific artists who were inspired by their Voyage aboard HMNZS Otago as they journeyed from Auckland to the Kermadec region and then on to Tonga.
The artists’expedition and the subsequent exhibition are under the auspices of the Pew Environment Goup. In their projects promoting and protecting the sustainability of the sea they have harnessed the talents of artists and the research and discoveries of scientists.
This second lecture in the series will feature scientists who know the Kermadec region. This lecture is to be held on Thursday, 26 April in the Aotearoa Evolves Gallery, starting at 6.30pm.
The session will be chaired by Chris Howe, CEO World Wildlife Fund, New Zealand. The panel will comprise of three outstanding speakers and advocates of the cause for the protection and preservation of this threatened unique Kermadec region.
They are Dr. Tom Trnski (pictured right), Research Manager and Curator Marine Biology, Auckland Museum who pulled a scientific team together and coordinated an explorative mission of research to the Kermadecs; Karen Baird, Seabird Conservation Advocate, Forest and Bird and Rochelle Constantine PhD from the School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland.
Chris Howe will conduct a Q and A session at the conclusion of the addresses. Guests will then be invited with the scientists to visit the exhibition in the museum’s Edmiston gallery. The exhibition is spectacular.
Admission is $5.00.
