Our oceans and marine life are under increasing pressure. Overfishing and bottom trawling, seabed mining, climate change and other pressures affect marine mammals and seabirds. We need commitment and action from our political leaders.
It’s election year, and we need progressive politicians to hear the chorus of calls from a wide range of environmental groups for better marine management, and to act on it.
That’s why we’re gathering many of New Zealand’s leading environmental organisations, and politicians, together at 2pm, Saturday April 18, at the Kokiri Room, Te Manawa, 11 Kohuhu Lane, Westgate. We’ll have short and snappy presentations from a range of groups and responses from politicians from the Labour Party, Greens, The Opportunity Party and the Animal Justice Party. Then we’ll have time for informal chats over afternoon tea.
Everyone is welcome. Please bring a friend to get better protection for the oceans now and for the future. RSVP to [Enable JavaScript to view protected content]
