More About the Game
Marine Invaders was created by Elizabeth Copeland (University of Waikato), with graphic design by Marika Obst.
Join the fun to protect New Zealand's taonga species in a game about native vs invasives, biodiversity, climate change and the influence of humans on our environment
Our dream is to stop invasive species spreading across New Zealand and this can only be done with the support of the community. We want to empower the swimmers, boaties, divers, beach walkers, fisher people and water crafters to look around and learn about the moana. After all they are the every day scientists!
We designed a game to help ocean enthusiasts dive deeper into species identification, and to highlight the impact of invasive species, but also to highlight how we can support native species to thrive.
