 Proposed Marine Research and Education Centre
Here at Lochmara Lodge Wildlife Recovery and Arts Centre we plan to build a marine research and education centre to help build a
sustainable marine environment in the Marlborough Sounds. This project will be developed by Lochmara Lodge Wildlife Recovery Centre
Charitable Trust.
Education – Educate the public so they are aware of the problem, give them the solution to the problem, so they
can help solve the problem. Bring school groups through and educate the next generation so they can learn new ways of fishing and
not make the mistakes of the past.
Tourist – Develop a unique facility so it becomes a must-do destination for tourists so it is self-funding,
contributes to the local economy and creates jobs.
Research – Create a facility for research so we have the science to make the right decisions to manage the marine
environment in a more sustainable way. A modern facility utilised by universities, schools, Iwi, visiting international marine
biologists etc, who can help us understand and improve our marine environment.
Enhancement – Hold a number of blue cod so natural reproduction occurs, replenishing the local population. Hatch
and on-grow juveniles for possible enhancement throughout the Marlborough Sounds.
If we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy what we have enjoyed, we need to get on with the job of
managing this resource.
