A new six-part video series highlights the state of our oceans, and efforts from researchers, Māori and other partners to develop sustainable solutions.

Check out this new series of short video documentaries, Turning The Tide.

Across six episodes, Turning The Tide shows what's happening beneath the ocean surface, and highlights mahi across the motu to restore marine ecosystems.

We hear firsthand from researchers, iwi, hapū, community leaders and others who are coming together to devise sustainable solutions for the sea, and ensure healthy and resilient oceans for generations to come.

From kina barrens to restoring mussel beds to engaging rangatahi, Turning The Tide traverses a raft of fascinating marine stories that will take you deeper into our oceans.

Watch Turning The Tide on the RNZ website, RNZ Facebook page, or the RNZ YouTube channel.

Turning The Tide was made by Tauihu Media and funded by the Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge.
