About the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society
The New Zealand Marine Sciences Society is a professional organisation created to bring marine biologists and other interested people together. It meets once a year in various venues to provide a forum for members to present information about their research.
The Society has an advocacy role in areas where it sees the need for conservation and education. You can check out the Society's website by clicking here.
