A Momentous Day for the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana / Te Moananui ā Toi 🌊

Yesterday, Hauraki Gulf Forum leadership past and present were honoured to witness this historic moment in Parliament, the unanimous passage of the Hauraki Gulf / Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Bill, which creates new protections for our treasured Gulf.

This milestone is the result of over a decade of collaboration between mana whenua, communities, and many passionate people who have worked tirelessly to improve the State of the Gulf and improve the Gulf’s future. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

The job is far from done, but these new protections are a powerful foundation to help turn around the Gulf’s decline, ensuring that this taonga can thrive and be enjoyed by future generations for decades to come. #haurakigulf #MarineProtection Department of Conservation - Auckland

As co-chair, I’m honoured to champion two new marine science awards that empower the next generation of scientists dedicated to protecting and understanding Te Moananui a Toi, the Hauraki Gulf.” 🐳 🐟

Sorry to sound like a wet blanket on your anniversary. BUT ! when is someone OR SOMETHING ! going to put forward the big push for more of the Hauraki Gulf turned into marine reserve ?? not park ! Its been smash to bits by commercial fishing and now been hammered by recreational fishing. I drove passed a boat ramp in east Auckland a few months ago and there must have been over 100 boat trailers on uts and SUVs at this one boat ramp. Not enough is been done to protect the Gulf and the Upper Harbour !!
