I learnt that this is the fifth round of sampling from the Rena and is expected to continue for 10 years from when the ship wrecked. I also learnt the Rena has been the second most expensive wreck to clean up in the world and that it is the most expensive monitoring programme thus undertaken in NZ so far.
They are sampling different species from all trophic levels. While I was there, kina (omnivore but prefers large brown seaweed) and turban snails (herbivore grazing on algae) had been collected and were being prepared to be sent away for testing.
