Hidden from view below the surface, the Hauraki Gulf/Tīkapa Moana/Te Moananui-a-Toi is rapidly deteriorating. Over the decades, the urbanisation of its catchment area, farming and fishing practices, and climate change, have all taken their toll.

Our Vision
Our vision is for a regenerated Hauraki Gulf; resilient to all future challenges.
How? By engaging experts with a wealth of knowledge about the Gulf, partnering with organisations doing the mahi and fundraising to accelerate the Gulf's regeneration, all guided by the principles of Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
Key Projects
