One of the three consents was declined by the Council last Friday, while the other two are still being considered.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace seabed mining campaigner James Hita says: \u201cGreenpeace, Te Wh\u0101nau O Pakiri and Save Our Sands are celebrating the decision as a win for people-power and another example of how community groups are successfully fighting seabed mining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Last year Greenpeace Aotearoa supported the formation of Save Our Sands Pakiri-Mangawhai, a collective of civil society groups, tangata whenua, and concerned locals. Together, their mission is to stop the 100 year old sand mining operation along the Pakiri-Mangawhai coast, home to rare species including the critically endangered fairy tern, of which less than 40 remain.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cValiant efforts from grassroot groups like Save our Sands frequently bring about change, but protecting the environment shouldn\u2019t be the sole responsibility of community groups\u201d, says Hita.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe government needs to ban all forms of seabed mining to protect diverse ecosystems and stop the drain on ordinary people\u2019s time and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Save our Sands launched a petition on the Greenpeace community platform late last year calling for an end to sand mining at Pakiri and urging the council to stop the renewal and granting of new mining applications. <a href=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/mangawhai-pakiri-sos\">The petition now has over 8,000 signatures.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout  \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/mangawhai-pakiri-sos?source=greenpeace\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/01\/1c3e8b72-sospakiri-beach.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"An aerial view of people on a beach spelling out SOS\" title=\"An aerial view of people on a beach spelling out SOS\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/mangawhai-pakiri-sos?source=greenpeace\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Mangawhai Pakiri SOS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Call on the NZ Government and Auckland Council to stop the renewal, and granting of new sand mining consents in the Mangawhai &#8211; Pakiri Embayment.<br><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/mangawhai-pakiri-sos?source=greenpeace\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Sign the petition\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n<p>Pakiri and Mangawhai beaches, about two hours drive north of Auckland City, are natural treasures, white sand beaches that foster precious ecosystems and are home to rare species.
