With
New Zealand`s policy of establishing Marine Reserves provides a unique
potential to get people easily attached to marine life and its
meaningfulness to the society. The former Leigh Marine Laboratory (now Institute of Marine Science) was founded in 1962 to undertake coastal reef research in the North Island of New Zealand. With the establishment of the Goat Island Marine Reserve in 1976 scientists of the Leigh Lab dedicated themselves to undertake research of MPA and non-MPA reefs in NZ with great success.
What´s it all about?
This is a blog which will provide information about ongoing research at the Institute of Marine Science in
Leigh, New Zealand. The basic aim is to make research accessible to
everyone who is interested in the oceans and marine life. The first step
of communicating the importance of the marine ecosystem to our society
has been done by opening the Marine Discovery Centre (Link).
Additionally this blog will provide information for young students doing their BSc or MSc looking for information what courses to choose and in which direction to go. This inisights could be useful as a guideline what marine science is about.

Who are we?
We
are a group of MSc and PhD students doing their theses at the Institute of Marine Science in Leigh. As we are all in the middle of process of becoming
responsible scientists in the future we are happy to share our
experiences and current research problem with you. You can ask us any
questions how it is doing a research thesis and how to get there. In the
near future you will be able to directly follow us in our research by
uploaded videos, pictures and publications.
As
research is mainly funded by government and the economical sector we
like to share our knowledge with everybody and to give an impression
what and most important why we do what we do. It isn´t an easy question
to answer, we can tell you that so far :).
