A fantastic marine adventure

Faced with declining marine stocks and rising fuel costs, REAF in conjunction with the Opotiki Community, is setting about growing more fish, closer to port and exploring the skills and ethics needed to harvest them sustainably.

Many sea beds are relatively quite barren and lack the structure that fish and other marine species need. A start has been made with enhancing such seabed just out of the little coastal township of Opotiki, New Zealand.

Building resilience into our ability to continue fishing, providing healthy seafood for our families, and growing more fish for future generations is surely a concept worth exploring.

REAF offers many options for you to get involved no matter where you might live.

How you can get involved.

1.Learning more.

Day Tours Our premier eco-tourism day that covers how to grow more fish, the practicalities of enhancement module building and an exploration of our connectedness with the marine environment. Click here for more information.

2.Enhancement reef building.

From donating for a simple mauri stone to sponsoring a complete dedicated REAF (Recreated Enhanced Area for Fish), it is now possible to get involved in helping the marine environment from the convenience of your computer. Check out our REAF Building page for all the options available.

Building a Memory REAF in recognition of a deceased loved one is an excellent way of adding recognition to a life well spent. The GPS location and naming is entirely over to your family. An excellent way of encouraging grand-children to take an active interest in their marine world. Click here for more information.

3.Community involvement.

There are lots of ways that the local Opotiki Community can assist the growth of their reef. Completing Fishing Logs, inviting others to get involved, gaining sponsorship, helping out on deployment days are just a few ways of helping. Contact REAF to see how you might become involved.

If you are an Opotiki local, you might want to consider building your own whanau (family) REAF. To find out more explore the Self Build option.
