North Island Mussels Saving the Mahurangi, the Gulf and the Planet: Whether it’s action on the already too-muddy Mahurangi, the fished-out Hauraki Gulf, or Global Warming of 1.5°C that floats your punt, numbers count. image North Island Mussels

Can you spare half a day to help further-build mussel reefs in the Mahurangi Harbour?

If you have time, the other six quick questions will help Mahurangi Action plan the five-year green-lipped mussel reef restoration research project.

Beyond volunteering, even a modest donation, by greatly leveraging other funding sources this Mahurangi-based five-year research project will potentially pour $1 million into cracking the challenge of at-scale restoration of the once 500-square-kilometre, or more, Hauraki Gulf green-lipped mussel reefs.

Musseling in on the action

I am fit and volunteer to help shovel mussels overboard on:
- Friday 7 December 6.15 am to mid-morning
- I have a life jacket that I will bring.
Volunteers will be contacted by Carina Sim-Smith with further information. Muster at Scotts Landing.
Might you potentially volunteer for mussel shovelling or some other role
- for field work?
- to assist with administration?
- as an elected office-holder?
Are you ready to register potential support:
- As a possible $20 supporter?
- As a possible support leveragee?
- As a possible significant philanthropist?
Need further information?
- Please contact me to discuss

Your response will not obligate you further, in any way.

We have been attending the Mahurangi Regatta for over 40 years with our late parents and our children.

We have always enjoyed the Beach activities and picnics with our kids , parents and other friends etc.

Great to see a real kiwi picnic program with running, swimming and boating races, not to mention the egg-and-spoon races and tug-of-war. Good fun, even for townies.

Then enjoyed the classic and other yachts with the boats showing their splendour.
Tasted the sailing once year which was a great experience, with a few gins etc .
We generally attend the prize giving and dance where all types of characters and friends meet up.

Even the exodus to the boats, floating or some aground, is entertaining.

Thanks to the organisers who do a fantastic job.

Long may it continue!

To receive a fillip like that, Reg, is hugely appreciated—the Mahurangi Regatta is Aucklanders, and Homo sapiens sapiens generally, at their best!
