Investors, scientists, and leaders are no longer asking if the blue economy is real and instead figuring out how quickly they can scale it.

Te Tihi o Mauao, the ancestral pathway for Matariki and a journey of inspiration and hope to reconnect the Iwi, Hapu, locals and manuhiri back to the Tauranga Moana. Nowhere is the spiritual connection stronger between all people, far and wide, between coastal pathway, interpretation and access to our shared past. Together we are rebuilding our maunga, he Tangata he Tangata, he Tangata.

As seen on SEVEN SHARP , a fleet of boats & crew across the country....87% of rubbish collected is single use plastic.

Nature, will evaluate the negative brand enquiry of plastics found in our communities.
