The Whangateau Harbour is recognised as the most unspoiled mainland estuary in the Auckland Region, celebrated for its outstanding ecological, cultural, and recreational significance. However, the harbour faces multiple threats that require community action to protect this unique environment.
The Whangateau HarbourCare Group is dedicated to safeguarding this exceptional harbour, ensuring the well-being of its wildlife and the enjoyment of both present and future generations. Join us in our mission to care for Whangateau Harbour and its catchment.
Our aims:
To help local people to work together in planning and implementing sustainable management and protection of the harbour, land and other resources in the Whangateau Harbour and Catchment area.
To seek funding for such land and resource based projects.
To invite assistance with activities, to commission research and to share information.
