Seen something unusual? MAKE A REPORT
You’ve heard of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), right? What about Myrtle Rust or the Northern Pacific Seastar?
These are just a few of the pests and diseases that pose a great threat to our biggest growing region if they were to enter Aotearoa and spread.
This is why the Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital initiative has put together a fun quiz that teaches kids all about these potential threats and how to recognise them. But the fun isn’t just for the kids - Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital would love for our community to get involved and test our knowledge!
Did we also mention there’s epic prizes up for grabs too? Each week they have a prize pool of unique adventures and vouchers up to the value of $700, all you have to do is enter!
The quiz runs until 24 October - head to greatbiosecurityquiz.co.nz
and give it a go!
