Live Ocean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Live Ocean is a New Zealand registered ocean conservation charity founded by Olympic gold and silver medalists Peter Burling and Blair Tuke. Live Ocean's mission is ocean action in New Zealand.[1] Live Ocean partners with people and projects[example needed] on marine science.[2] Live Ocean relies on donations from people, which will go towards supporting ocean action[vague] in New Zealand.

Activities

Live Ocean's initial project is The Race To Save the Endangered Antipodean Albatross.[3]

Hauraki Gulf

[edit]

In March 2021, Live Ocean released an online video series with the aim of saving the Hauraki Gulf in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. They had a stated goal of achieving 30 percent protection of the Hauraki Gulf by 2030, as was demanded by scientists[who?] internationally.[4]

The charity endorsed the new protection measures for the Hauraki Gulf that were announced by the New Zealand government on 22 June 2021.[5]
