Make a submission for ‘Revitalising the Gulf’
Support marine conservation in Tikapa Moana/Hauraki Gulf...
The Department of Conservation is asking for submissions on the new proposed marine protected zones in the Hauraki Gulf through the ‘Revitalising the Gulf’ strategy. We would love to encourage you to submit on this exciting proposal. This is a great opportunity to learn about the processes involved in the formation of marine protected areas. The Minister for Oceans and Fisheries and Minister of Conservation will consider all feedback so it is a great way for you to have your say and have your feelings heard. They will do this before making final decisions on the proposals, which will inform the Hauraki Gulf Marine Protection Bill.
Submissions close on October 28th.
Make a Submission in support of Marine Reserves
From the very beginning the Experiencing Marine Reserves programme has been supporting our schools and communities to take action for the marine environment.
Check out this short clip from 2002, when Kamo Intermediate made submissions for the Whangarei Harbour Marine Reserve (proposed by Kamo High School and the ONLY school in the world (that we know of) to have established a marine reserve under such advanced legislation)
