It’s been 24 years since the establishment of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park and 9 years since the Sea Change programme was initiated to restore the Park.

In that time tens of thousands of hours from volunteers, contractors and employees of a myriad of organisations have been invested into developing a pathway to restored abundance for our beloved Marine Park. Meanwhile, rather than wait (seemingly endlessly) our communities have led the way laying rāhui, developing restoration programmes and educating the public on how they can be more involved.
