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.

Lynley Christoffersen and Jade Eru weave a vocal magic that can only come from years of singing together. They have lent their sweet soulful harmonies to many artists around Aotearoa, (including Wayne Mason, Darren Watson, Pip Paynes Gospel project) and are currently touring with The Fleetwood Mac Experience.
We celebrate the release of their original EP, The Tempests, which brings their vocal blend to the fore. They will be performing with their incredible band of musical maestros - Chris Armour and Rob Matthews, (guitars), Miklin Halstead (bass) and Richard te One (drums). Joined by their dear friend Hamish Graham (Hobnail, Shot band, Milkthistle & Love Shack) who opens their set with his lush and lively, beautifully crafted original songs.
Come along for the special House Concert vibe. Teas, coffee & snacks provided. Details re parking etc will be sent out with the email confirming your booking.
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!
