Hauraki Gulf
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]
