Stop Deep Sea Mining

A global moratorium on all deep seabed mining activities is urgently needed.

Extraction must not go ahead until the environmental, social and economic risks are understood. And all alternatives to deep sea minerals have been explored.

 

Add your voice today to the growing movement calling for a Moratorium on Deep Sea Mining.

Stop Plastic Pollution

Plastic pollution is everywhere, but nowhere more than in the ocean.

More than 11 million metric tons of plastic are flowing into the ocean each year. Once it is there, it’s almost impossible to remove. And it continues to break down. Macroplastics become microplastics, and microplastics become nanoplastics.  

It’s not good for people, or the planet. 

For marine life, it is catastrophic

Adopt an animal

You'll be protecting precious habitats in New Zealand and around the world, and all the species that rely on them.

You can adopt a penguin, dolphin, albatross or tiger.  

Whether your symbolic adoption is for yourself, a gift, or to educate younger generations about conservation, you'll be helping build a better future.
