Big thank you to everyone who has RSVP’d to our Friends of SC event this week. Sadly, we’ve made the decision to cancel this event, due to various happenings in the SC whānau.

It looked like there was going to be a great turnout, and we were so looking forward to seeing you and sharing our strategy to help put an end to ocean pollution 🌊 

The next time we can all get together will be the Sustainable Coastlines Fundraising Ball. So if you haven’t yet got your tickets, head to Humanitix and we’ll see you there!

We are having our first ‘Friends Of Sustainable Coastlines’ event in over a year and we would love you to join us. It’s a chance to catch up with fellow ocean-lovers, hear an update from SC and meet our new chairperson, plus our three new board members.

Come along from 5pm for drinks and nibbles and a 5.45pm update.
