The frame offers a vantage point for viewers to immerse themselves with the beauty of the ocean, whilst also showcasing offshore rocky reef photographs captured by divers from the South Taranaki Underwater Club (STUC).  Each image has a video so viewers can experience life in action at the rocky reef 11km offshore of Pātea from where the photographs were taken. These are accessible through a QR code on the Marine Frame or at the dedicated YouTube channel "@marineframes.

The coordination of this project, from conception to completion, reflects the heartwarming spirit  of collaboration and support within the community.  Planning for the Marine Frame commenced in mid-2022, with instalment completed in October 2023.  The Project Reef team has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of goodwill and generosity from local businesses, individuals and Ōhawe boat club. Their donated contributions of equipment, materials and volunteer labour during October-December 2023, enabled an adjoining public parking space to be built on Te Rangatapu land, and landscaping around the Marine Frame.  A short video, at this QR code showcases many of those involved and acknowledges the valued support of the Te Rangatapu Trust for this community initiative.

Concept design and co-ordination of both the Marine Frame and the Carpark was a collaboration of the Project Reef team, with fabrication by local firm Global Stainless and picture wrapping by Zodiac Signs.  Funding for the Marine Frame was by the Toi Foundation and Hāwera Discretionary Fund, supplemented by additional in-kind donations from the community and Project Reef.

For those wanting to stay informed about upcoming monthly meetings and share their Marine Frame experiences, there is the Facebook page "Marine Frames". The first monthly meeting is planned for Sunday 5th May 2024, 2pm-4pm at the Marine Frame.
