Along New Zealand’s coast, with its exposed cliffs, windswept dunes and tidal rock pools, a highly specialised group of plants and animals have made their home. Some – such as the brilliant red pōhutukawa tree, or wheeling gulls – are easy to spot. Others, from tiny periwinkles to scuttling crabs and the native black beetle, can be discovered as you explore the environment at the water’s edge.
