New Zealand has a unique marine environment and a long coastline, leading to a growing industry in marine tourism. But human exploitation has destroyed the ecosystem. The coastal areas, which have the greatest diversity of species, have been the most affected.

IGS Board is placed on the fence of coastal walking trails. It allows people to feel the wind, air and sound from the natural environment directly.

Based on the location where the IGS Board is placed, basic knowledge is shown about the special species living in the area, the threats faced by them, plus relevant advice on conservation and restoration.

The icons and colours of species, pollution and habitats on the game panel correspond to the information board. The goal is to send the animal slider to the coastal habitat (three circles) below while avoiding pollutants and fishing nets while moving.

Rather than just the conventional text and pictures, different age groups can gain knowledge and deepen their learning and impressions of the marine environment through communication and cooperation in a fun way.

The QR code on the information board links to the citizen science project website. The website allows people to share records (photo and sound) of any species they meet while walking and visiting. Thus enhancing the visitor experience while helping to collect useful data.

Each part of the IGS Board is related and interlinked with knowledge of the coastal environment. The purpose of acquiring knowledge about ecological conservation is achieved through the voluntary participation of tourists. As awareness and appreciation of the coastal environment are strengthened, people can understand connections with nature. The IGS Board makes people aware of how their actions impact the environment. The activity aims to encourage people to take action to preserve the marine environment.
