We have a diverse range of coastal and marine environments, habitats, and species. We want to make sure it stays that way.

Protect our Red-Billed Gulls
Imagine a summer without seagulls
If we don’t act – we won’t have to imagine it.
While still regularly seen along our coastlines, the oft-derided tarāpunga or red-billed gull is in serious decline.
They are now more threatened than the North Island brown kiwi.
One of our most iconic seabirds, the population of red-billed gulls is projected to drop 50 to 70 percent over the next 30 years.
They need our help. Please make a donation to help save our gulls.
Our Moana Our Future
Our ocean is exceptional, but it is being negatively impacted by human activity. Heavily utilised areas like the Hauraki Gulf are more vulnerable to these impacts and are on the verge of ecological collapse.
If we don’t act now, species like the Antipodean Albatross or Maūi dolphin could be wiped out forever.
Our ocean and the life within are taonga that need protecting. Marine Protected Areas are an important way we can protect these habitats and species from harm.
Yet, despite our ocean territory being 15 times larger than our landmass, New Zealand currently has less that one percent of its ocean areas protected.
Help get 30% of our ocean protected by 2030.
