New aquariums at the University of Auckland’s Leigh operation, north of Auckland, are state-of-the-art and set to enhance marine research. The aquariums are part of a multi-million dollar-facility that was opened in January.

“The facility represents a significant advancement in our ability to understand ocean life and address the impacts of various stressors, from pollution to overfishing and invasive species attracted by warmer waters,” said Professor Conrad Pilditch, head of the Institute of Marine Science, University of Auckland.

Ngā Ara Whetū would like to congratulate the Institute, which is one of our Affiliated Centres, for the new facility and acknowledge the opportunities it offers for marine research. Read more here.
