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.
