Venue: Surfdale Hall

Join the New Zealand Seabird Trust for an engaging public talk on the remarkable seabirds of Waiheke Island and the wider Hauraki Gulf.

Hosted by Waiheke Marine Project and Te Korowai o Waiheke, this talk will explore the vital role seabirds play in the health of our marine ecosystems. Often called the “gardeners of the ocean,” seabirds move nutrients between sea and land, helping sustain thriving coastal environments.

Discover why the Hauraki Gulf is one of the world’s most important seabird regions, the challenges these species face, and the growing efforts to restore their populations across the Gulf.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the birds that connect land, sea, and sky — and how communities can help bring them back.
