Marine Research
Support critical research that will help save the Hauraki Gulf. Please, give today.
New Zealand is home to some of the most unique and vulnerable marine species, including Hector’s and Māui dolphins.
Hector’s and Māui dolphins are the smallest in the world. And yet much of their lives beneath the sea remains a mystery.
With around only 48 Māui dolphins left, we’re risking the balance of the marine ecosystem if we don’t understand their behaviour so we can protect them.
Your gift today will help New Zealand’s best and brightest scientists uncover the secrets of the animals under the sea.
