Together with the Ministry for the Environment we are looking for up to 70 passionate, young environmental leaders (Yr 11–13) to join us for our 2021 BLAKE Inspire programmes.

If it’s sustainable it should have ZERO POLYESTER in it as it’s plastic and every time you put it through the was little bit of plastic comes out and goes into the ocean... next time go 100% cotton!!

The countdown is on for our fifth #BLAKEExpeditions! On 1 March, fifteen young New Zealanders and five school teachers from around Aotearoa will set sail on HMNZS Canterbury with the Royal New Zealand Navy, marine scientists and environmental leaders for a voyage of discovery to the Kermadec Islands / Rangitāhua.
As one of NZ’s largest fully-protected marine reserves and identified as one of only four pristine marine ecosystems on Earth, we have much to learn from Rangitāhua to help us address climate and ecological challenges now and in the future.
Delegates will work alongside scientists from Massey University, NIWA New Zealand and Auckland Museum and be exposed to hands-on marine research and leadership development opportunities.
