Bumper year ahead for Wellington's kelp forests

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 27 January 2023

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.
