PHOTO: STEPHEN BRADLEYWhen Millie Mannering added a marine science paper to her zoology degree — purely out of interest — it was like a whirlpool and she got sucked in straight away. She took up scuba diving in her second year at the University of Otago, and decided to pursue marine science alongside zoology. Now, the recent master of marine science graduate’s passion for the subject has won her a $NZ32,900 Australasian scholarship from the OurWorld Underwater Scholarship Society. She intended to focus on developing her diving, photography and videography skills, and to join different research projects as opportunities arose. I think marine science is ... developing ... as people gain more understanding of the underwater world and ... the impact we have on it."
