Great Barrier Island’s penguins will be better off thanks to the efforts of the Thomas family and Sustainable Coastlines.

Thirty one participants in the MAD (Make a Difference) youth sustainability programme helped built 18 penguin boxes in two hours using power tools and donated timber.

Check out Michael Jessup’s youtube film put together during Seaweek.
