Long Bay, Okura and the marine reserve is under threat from further increased, intensive land development. Your help is urgently required.

 

The Long Bay Okura Great Park Society is a community group set up over 15 years ago to preserve the parks, coastline and marine reserve in this area.

This helped protect our unique coastline and marine reserve.
