Foundation North’s G.I.F.T initiative has spearheaded a joint communications collective with other Gulf stakeholders, the aim being to amplify messaging about the health of the Gulf and act as a group on campaigns. Other members include Auckland Council, DOC, Hauraki Gulf Forum, Auckland Foundation, Sustainable Business Network and the Nature Conservancy.

The collective has met three times and its first joint communication has just gone out, an open letter to newspapers asking Aucklanders to consider the health of Tīkapa Moana this summer and take some positive actions to care for her.
