Good news!!

Great news, a decade in the making: five new marine reserves for the south-east coast of Te Waipounamu (the South Island)! 🌊🌳🪶

These reserves protect habitats and foraging grounds for toroa northern royal albatross, pakake sea lions, kororā little penguins, and hoiho yellow-eyed penguins.

Successive governments since 2014 have been working to protect more of our oceans. Today, another 300 km² has been protected.

Marine reserves are fundamental to a thriving moana: they safeguard biodiversity, rebuild fish populations, and strengthen our ocean's resilience.

This announcement should be the first step, not the finish line.

New Zealand and nearly 200 other countries have committed to protecting 30% of our oceans by 2030. Right now, less than 1% of Aotearoa New Zealand's ocean is fully protected. Australia has already protected 24%.

This is great news, and every political party has a chance to accelerate our efforts to protect our moana for future generations.

If flood-affected people in the South Coast need help salvaging precious framed art or photos there is some excellent advice here https://natlib.govt.nz/collections/caring-for-your-collections/disaster-recovery/respond-to-a-disaster/what-to-do-after-a-flood If you are not in a position to do this yourself get in touch with me and I might be able to help. It's really important to act quickly before mould sets in. I can remove works from frames and dry them for you. I am not a Conservator so can't guarantee success but do have some Museum training so can be sensitive to the materials. Please share with anyone who might find this useful, I hardly use social media for my business so this probably won't get seen by many. Keen to help those who are struggling.

Steps you can take to dry water-damaged precious personal and collection items. Water and mould can all badly damage collection materials. While a damaged item may never look new again, it is possible to preserve what remains if you act quickly.

Hey all, get amongst this petition and save us from more polluted air and toxic waste!!!

Why we want Aotearoa to stay incinerator-free Incinerators are a serious health hazard Incinerators release highly toxic dioxins, heavy metals, and PFAS, among other pollutants. These are some of the most toxic substances known to science, and can cause things like cancer, damage to the nervous...
