In just over a week I will be on the RV Braeheart bound for the Kermadec Islands to spend three weeks diving, observing and collecting specimens from one of the most pristine ocean environments in the world.
Auckland Museum is leading this expedition and has been lucky enough to bring together a team of experts from the Department of Conservation, NIWA, Te Papa, the Australian Museum and a photographer and writer who are going to help us share the journey with you.
Preparation for the trip has been a massive undertaking on everyone’s part – and we’ll be sharing some of that with you over the next few days before we head off on Monday – but now we’re nearly there the possibilities of what we might find are fuelling high levels of excitement.
