About the Event
In the underwater world of Wellington, New Zealand, Dr. Nicole Miller dedicates her life to documenting the coastal ecosystems she holds dear. With over 800 hours spent underwater, Nicole embarks on her most ambitious mission yet: SCUBA diving 70 kilometers of Wellington’s coastline to assess the health of seaweed and giant kelp forests. Armed with her camera, Nicole brings these hidden underwater realms to life through photography, art, and immersive virtual reality experiences, while revealing the stark reality of kelp forest decline caused by overfishing, pollution and climate change. This short film chronicles Nicole’s monumental effort to inspire action, showcasing the urgent need to monitor and protect these vital ecosystems—essential to life both beneath and above the waves.
