Marine Mammals of Tīkapa Moana – Brought to you by the Department of Conservation (DOC)
Summer brings more people onto Tīkapa Moana / the Hauraki Gulf, one of Aotearoa’s richest marine habitats.

Summer brings more people onto Tīkapa Moana / the Hauraki Gulf, one of Aotearoa’s richest marine habitats.

At 239 South Highway, Whitianga, it’s a hive of activity each day as the Wāhi Tukurua team and volunteers are busy rescuing good, usable items from heading to landfill and giving them a fresh start in the community.

The crackle of a campfire might feel like the spirit of summer – but in the wrong place, at the wrong time, it can become the spark that destroys a forest.

Gold prices continue to rise, and mining companies are coming to our area wanting to extract it.

Kauri are woven into the landscape of Te Tara-o-te-Ika a Māui (the Coromandel Peninsula) standing as living links between the past and present.
