Next year, Matariki will be a public holiday, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate this year! Here’s a great guide detailing what’s happening across Aotearoa. There are festivals, art exhibitions, film screenings, kite days, and more — surely something to pique your interest! Check out the guide at our bio.

Work with us! Do you want to help play a key role

Work with us! Do you want to help play a key role in helping our ocean and waterways? Are you community focused with an epic ability to bring people together towards a shared kaupapa? If you are someone who has experience in working with community groups and ideally waterway restoration, we would love to hear from you!

We are currently on the lookout for a new Programmes Coordinator who can facilitate the rollout of the on-the-ground components of our Love Your Water and Love Your Coast programmes, coordinating and implementing water restoration and beach clean up projects.
