Fish don't ride bikes
Today we recovered 35 street cones, 2 scooters and 2 ONZO bikes from the harbour. Fish don't ride bikes or use scooters, so please stop chucking them in the ocean!
ONZO NZ and Uber/JUMP scooters, and now Flamingo Scooters, have us on board helping them recover their lost bikes and scooters that have ended up in the ocean.
*** PLEASE DON'T *** throw these great public amenities in the water.
Two divers Geoff Miller and Matthius Rolfius joined us to recover all of these items and 4 shore team assisted in the shore recovery - Eddie Van Halen Howard, Stefanos Aslanidis, Chris Fink and William Taankink. This was an incredible cleanup effort in only 70 minutes in the water.
Thanks always to the incredible Alex Humberstone for the music - Alex H his music is second to none.
"Never too late" = track name.

Male singers
If you like singing and have a male voice then this might be a good choir for you to join. You don't need to audition to join the Wellington Male Voice Choir but the harder we all sing, the better it'll sound. Rehearsals are mostly in Tawa on Monday evenings.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
