The South Taranaki Bight is unique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The South Taranaki Bight is home to rare and endangered animals, including M\u0101ui dolphins, Hector\u2019s dolphins and koror\u0101. For some, it is their only home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the South Taranaki Bight is under threat from seabed mining. For more than a decade, Trans-Tasman Resources (TTR) have been seeking to plunder the seabed for profit. And now, due to the Fast Track Approvals Bill, the threat of seabed mining is back. We must stop them in their tracks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between TTR and the Luxon Government\u2019s Fast Track Bill, the South Taranaki Bight could be the first place in the world to be mined this way. But with your help, we can hold them off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
