Educational

We could tell you about Seabed Enhancement
but you'd probably forget
We could show you how to grow our fisheries
and you may remember some
But if we involve you in how to give back to the sea
then you would understand.

SeaBed Enhancement
Marine Life Tours

Seabed Enhancement, also known as man initiated reefs, embraces many elements including one of environmental education.

New in 2010. A MindMap of Seabed Enhancement, the theories behind it, video clips on the practicalities of how you can do it, and other connected resources is soon to be released.

This outline of Seabed Enhancement has been produced with the support of Environment Bay of Plenty's Enhancement Funding.

The disc can be obtained by phoning or emailing REAF or contacting EBOP.

Many have contributed volunteeringly to the production of video clips and such things on the disc. We think the Seabed Enhancement story is organic and we welcome more contributions from you that might be suitable for the disc.

We would like the material to be as accessible as possible to as many as possible. The disc is available on donation 'koha'. As a guideline, $15 would cover the cost of materials involved and postage, and a $25 koha would help others less financial to access the material.

If you are not sure whether the material would suit your situation, then email us with the words 'pdf mindmap' in the subject line and we will email you a summary overview of seabed enhancement in pdf format.

The MindMapping interactive media disc will be sent out to you on a dual layer DVD. It will play on most all computers. (8.5 GB of material).

Accessing the material requires you to install PersonalBrain software on your computer, which fortunately is a free download.

REAF's 'Marine Life Tours' incorporates an educational component. It should be considered as suitable to secondary school groups studying in 'environment education'. Its also about getting people involved in Seabed enhancement.

Marine life Tours starts with an hours back grounding to artificial reef building around the World. (Reef Building 101) Reef Builder Experience contains applied maths and chemistry. (concrete mixing component contains good practical training in mathematical measuring and concrete chemistry.)

We can mix groups about with adding in some wharf fishing, kayaking, beach walks and whatever else.


REAF can prepare an agenda, accommodation and free quote for your group to suit your needs.
