Find Shells

Ecosystems and HabitatsWaterScavenger HuntsLearning Te Reo Māori
Written By Kim Manunui

Head out to the ocean/sea and walk along the beach finding different types of shells. Some of these listed below will be found living on the rocky areas at low tide. At high tide you won’t be able to access the living shelled creatures as they will be happily filter feeding under the lapping waves. How many of these can you find? What types of creatures do you think would like to live in the shells?

NOTE: please leave the shells on the beach. This is especially important in protected areas as you are not allowed to take them away from their natural site. Do not remove anything from rocks- this includes the muscles, limpets and barnacles. If they are on the beach, they likely won’t have anything living in them anymore so feel free to look closer at the shells and feel the different textures.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
