2023 is going to be a big year for regenerating Wellington's underwater forests.
Love Rimu-Rimu is a project set up through Mountains to Sea, and this year they'll be planting their first kelp forests in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Their pilot of planting baby seaweeds in Mahanga Bay has already proved to be a roaring success.
Mountains to Sea co-director and project lead of Love Rimu-Rimu, Zoe Studd talks to Jesse.
