SEA SOCIETY
Promoting practical tips beneficial to Mother Earth/Papatūānuku
Latest Project
New Zealand sea lions/pakake are classified as ‘Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In June 2020, SEA SOCIETY created a petition proposing the Clutha District Council restrict vehicles on a couple of beaches in The Catlins. In June 2022, the Clutha District Council responded with a proposed ‘Vehicles on Beaches Bylaw’. If the Bylaw is adopted, it will come into effect on the 1st of January 2023. Stay tuned.
