What is your gift to the Hauraki Gulf? What can you give, big or small, to help restore the waters that make New Zealand’s largest city so special?

Join experts and enthusiasts for a unique four day online event series. Together, we take an in-depth look at the wonders of the Hauraki Gulf – Tikapa Moana/Te Moananui-a-Toi and the efforts to restore her mauri, life giving essence.

Today we join microplastics researcher Devina Shetty; Darren Tiddy from Littatrap maker Stormwater360; and James Ferrier, Co-founder & CEO of mushroom-based packaging innovator BioFab. Together with Andy Kenworthy from The Sustainable Business Network, they’ll compare notes on the importance of tackling the plastic scourge in our oceans, and innovations that are making that happen. Listeners can add their own ideas on how to minimise plastic use, and keep it from the sea.

Hosted by The Sustainable Business Network, Gift to the Gulf celebrates 2020 as the 20th Anniversary of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. You can take part online with questions and answer sessions and the opportunity to post your own comments and ideas. And you can give your own gift to the Gulf through a range of suggested activations, and be in to win a fantastic range of prizes* and Gulf experiences.
