Help Us Create the Next Marine Invaders Card Game - Select Culturally Significant Marine Species for NSW! We are collaborating with the University of Waikato and The Wollotuka Institute at the University of Newcastle to develop the Australian version of the card game Marine Invaders. This game will be delivered to selected schools across NSW in late 2024 or early 2025. The NZ version is already in schools in NZ, and now we are excited to bring the NSW version to Australia! We need your help to choose 8 native marine species that are culturally significant for NSW Aboriginal people. If you're from NSW (preferably First Nations peoples), we invite you to participate in our poll here: https://lnkd.in/gKDFxU7h Rank up to 8 species that you feel are culturally significant for NSW Aboriginal people. By voting, you will help us create a meaningful and educational card game that highlights the rich marine biodiversity and cultural heritage of NSW. Your input ensures that the game reflects the values and traditions of NSW Aboriginal communities. Find out more about the collaboration here: https://ow.ly/VXGt50SBZXF Thank you for your participation and support! #MarineInvaders #NSW #FirstNations #MarineLife #WollotukaInstitute #AboriginalCulture
