Marine Invaders
Marine Invaders
Marine Invaders is an educational card game developed by Elizabeth Copeland that highlights the impact of invasive marine species and ways we can support native species to thrive.
Join us at Watt Space to play a new version of Marine Invaders created by researchers in a cross-institutional collaboration between the University of Waikato and the Wollotuka Institute at the University of Newcastle.
Featuring artwork by David Parsons (Worimi/Biripai) and René Campbell, this edition of the game focuses on the protection of Saltwater Country on the East Coast of NSW. The game champions the role of transdisciplinary collaborations between science and art in offering solutions to the environmental challenges facing marine ecosystems and biosecurity in the island nations of Australia and New Zealand.
Marine Invaders – Saltwater Country has been supported by the University of Newcastle and University of Waikato Partnership Seed Fund Project, Deadly Science, and the generosity of multiple contributors and communities. Researchers: Elizabeth Copeland, Dr Caelli Jo Brooker, Hannah Pipe, Dr Angela McGaughran, Dr René Campbell, and David Parsons.
