Welcome to Dive Planets Conservation section. Some may be curious of the name we have chosen for this very important section of our website. Aotearoa is Maori for New Zealand and means Island of the long white cloud. Taonga means Treasure and that is very appropriate so now you can see that our Conservation section is rightfully named New Zealand Treasure.
Our mascot for our Conservation section is Wheke, an Octopus as they are classed as being the most intelligent species in our oceans. The Wheke also has great significance in Maori History and by clicking on this link here you can read the story of Kupe and the Giant Wheke.
