These highly recommended ID guides have recently been updated and include the common animals and plants living on the sandy and muddy seashores and estuaries of Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Northern and Southern New Zealand Rocky Shore + Sandy and Muddy Shore Guides and Posters are available to download from the New Zealand Marine Studies Centre website and you can also order hard copies.
Updated in 2024, the guides now combine te reo Māori and English, rather than having separate guides for each.

These guides are popular with early childhood kaiako right through to secondary Biology courses. Ākonga could use them on their nature exploration walks or start monitoring their local shore by taking part in the Marine Metre Squared citizen science programme.
