Speaker info:
Steve Hathaway started filming underwater professionally in 2008. Since then his footage has appeared on BBC’s Blue Planet 2 and numerous other international documentaries including the popular and timely documentary ‘Blackfish’.
He’s an enthusiastic communicator who passionately educates the public on how incredible and fascinating NZ's ocean is and the life that lives in it. His passion is to bring the underwater story of New Zealand into the Kiwi story.
He has also created the children’s series Young Ocean Explorers and says “There is nothing as powerful as a great story to captivate a child’s imagination. My mission is to inspire children to love the ocean through entertaining education to engage their innate curiosity of the natural world and science.”
Recently we have released our best project yet an interactive website: www.youngoceanexplorers.com which has been designed for teachers. Come along and revitalise your passion for the ocean.
