Samara Nicholas – Experiencing Marine Reserves
Samara Nicholas MNZM is Co-Director and Marine Lead at the Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust. A PADI Divemaster, public speaker, Seaweek Ocean Champion and award-winner (including NZOM and Sir Peter Blake Emerging Leader), Samara has been at the forefront of marine conservation in Aotearoa since founding the national programme Experiencing Marine Reserves (EMR) back in 2001.
Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust
Join her to explore the Whangarei Harbour Marine Reserve as a true taonga — its marvels beneath the waves, the unique creatures calling it home, and the role this marine space plays for local communities. She’ll also share powerful stories of marine conservation initiatives around Northland, grounded in science, connection to culture, and hands-on experiences with youth, schools, and whānau.
✨ Come discover how one programme has been helping people see, feel, and protect our marine environment — and how you can join in.
