Hi! My name is Kira, and I’m 8 years old. I became a merologist because I love mermaids and want to learn everything about them! Being part of it means I get to explore New Zealand’s oceans, rivers, and lakes, searching for clues about mermaids and other amazing sea creatures.
I’ve learned so much already—like how different fish glow in the dark and how seaweed can change colors! Even though I haven’t seen a mermaid yet, I know they’re out there. Every time I go to the beach, I keep my eyes open and take notes, just like a real scientist. One day, I hope to help prove mermaids are real! Until then, I’ll keep exploring and learning.
