We love our coasts and we work with our sleeves rolled up to keep them beautiful. We coordinate and support large-scale coastal clean-up events, educational programs, public awareness campaigns and riparian planting projects. We also help groups run their own events. Through these efforts we motivate volunteers and communities around Aotearoa and the Pacific to look after the coastlines we all love.

Thank you so much for the Shigematsu Respiratory mask. I wore the mask when spraying a few days ago. Got help to tighten the mask and worked a wonder, no smells and didn’t slip like my old one, very snug fit. I’m sure it will have a lot of use.
