The Pathway to Galilee A new organism has developed from metal foam to allow people to be able to walk on water. “Jesus’ Trestle” is a new cross species creation designed to hold a person’s weight on the surface of the water. This organic material moves with the ocean’s surface but maintains its strength. Scientists discovered it while looking for a new way to travel through water. Wellington has taken advantage of the discovery being found in the harbour and have began to harvest it to create new walkways through Wellington Harbour.
The Wellington City Council has tamed the coral to create a path from Wellington’s lowest point to Eastbourne. They say the scenic route will encourage more people to experience the water through touch and allows them to explore Wellington in a new unique way.
The general public is very interested in this new organism and is eager to explore the coral’s capabilities once it has been fully tested by a team of experts. The experience of walking on water will be like nothing you can experience through the network; the touch, the smell and the look will lure you in.
