Blue Planet III

In 2025 Melissa Versteeg led the first iteration of the PNG Student Training programme, in partnership with Mahonia Na Dari (mndpng.org), giving Papua New Guinean students an opportunity to learn about field ecology. During that time, the group started the first survey of the local fish market and they would now like to continue this research. Melissa is running the Naha marathon this December to support the research.
