We invite you to learn about our vital work in restoring and protecting our marine environment through the application of mātauranga Māori (traditional Māori knowledge), and to explore opportunities for collaboration and investment in our impactful initiatives.
Our Chief Executive, Nicola Rata-MacDonald MNZM, will be participating in Ocean Action Panel 8: Promoting and supporting all forms of cooperation, especially at the regional and sub regional level on Thursday 12 June at 3:00pm. Please join us in the Ocean Action Panel Room at the Nice Congress Centre to learn more about our work, and our approach to marine protection and restoration.
