While not lacking criticism, the Hauraki Gulf Protection Act is coming into force this weekend.

It is a net positive, despite its shortcomings, but much more work needs to be done to restore the mauri of Tīkapa Moana, the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

Now that we're awake anyway, check out the awesome work of Heal the Hauraki.

This episode is about the amazing people doing the mahi to restore ecosystems in Tīkapa Moana Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.

AKA some of the witches with green liquid that Shane Jones is so scared of.
I think it is quite positive, inspiring and uplifting.
