Save the Shellfish
The Long Bay-Okura Marine Reserve in Auckland is covered with dying shellfish - and we need your help to put an end to this. The shellfish beds are decimated and soon the shore birds will be affected as their food sources decline. Marine Reserves are a place for wildlife to live and be protected, not a place to die. This Marine Reserve is a jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf.
Canoe & Kayak has donated $2500.00 to kick off a fundraising campaign to Save the Shellfish.
Your donation will go directly towards helping to raise awareness with the public, developers, Auckland Council, and central Government, and contracting specialists for advice, monitoring, testing and technical support, so the Long Bay Okura Great Park Society can continue to help protect this stunning area.
Join with us and donate to make a difference - thank you for your support.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
