Little blue penguins
The blue penguin, or korora is the Seaweek 2008 mascot. Find out about
the penguins, the threats they face and ways we can help to look after them
through a new interactive game:

Developed by the NZ Marine Studies Centre,
Penguin Pathways is an
excellent starter activity for student investigations, group and class
discussion and hands on activities. The game has been designed with Otago
schools in mind, but can easily be adapted by using examples from your local
area for follow up discussion. Click on the Education & Resources link of the
Marine Sciences Centre website to download:
