Today, as a part of the second Innovation and Knowledge Exchange event, the ARCSAR partners visited the 5 Squadron RNZAF and the Marine Pollution Response Services (MPRS) in Auckland.

The agenda also included a visit to Maritime New Zealand MPRS, where the partners learned more about oil spill and oiled wildlife response capabilities in New Zealand.
