In fact, our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) spans 15 times our land area. Despite this, less than 1% of our ocean is highly protected.
Sheridan Waitai, member of One Oceania, argues that New Zealand is failing its obligations, and our failure is being noticed internationally.
Sheridan and others argue that the health of our oceans is declining as they face climate change, overfishing, and pollution. While other nations are championing ocean protection, New Zealand has been quiet on this topic.
We want to know: Are we meeting our responsibilities in the management of our blue territory?

The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.
Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.
This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!

We hope this news brings a smile!

The couple heard about the St John therapy pets programme not long after moving into Ryman Healthcare’s Devonport village in 2021, and now take Maggie to visit residents in the village care centre three times a week.

They are exactly the same as the 4 piece set for sale now (Wednesday 16 July 2025) in South Bunnings, Kahikatea Drive, Hamilton at $599.00. They were purchased and immediately put into my warm dry cabin outside and the two seater used long enough to know it worked for me and would not be sold as a set. There is one chair complete with grey cushions and one oblong glass table top for sale. The glass is silky white smooth on one side and on the other side a traction fine mesh like surface which gives the appearance of greyish white. The metal should be maintenance free and I would recommend as with all cushions, keeping the cushions in dry places when not in use or in winter weather.
These are in brand new condition and very comfortable. If the set was priced individually, it would probably be something like:
2 seater, $250.00
1 seater $125.00
1 seater $125.00
Table $100.00.
This is now one chair and 1 table, for sale at suitable offers, together or separately. They fit easily in my hatchback car. Depending on your location, I may possibly be able to deliver them, or meet the purchaser in town with them.
Please phone 027-358-1945, Louise. Offers invited. They are in my way in the cabin.
