On 14 November 2017, Katherine and Mark were invited to visit the Sea Education Association (SEA) Student Sailing Vessel “SSV Robert C. Seamans” when it docked in Auckland Harbour. What a great way for students to learn by getting practical experience and skills while living aboard a research ship for a semester at sea. Mark gave a short talk about ocean biodiversity and biogeography, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner on board.
