Ōhawe Marine Frame

Check out our latest project!

The Marine Frame enriches our connection with our local ocean and offshore reefs.

The Marine Frame viewer is invited to gaze through the frame at the ocean and take a glimpse of life below by viewing the selection of photographs around the frame border, and watching related videos via scanning the QR codes. The frame is a place for the community to gather and share marine based stories and conversation through regular meet ups.
