The Top of the South Marine Biosecurity Partnership brings communities, industry, iwi, and government agencies together to safeguard the unique marine environment of Te Tauihu (Top of the South) and Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington).
Our mission is simple: prevent the spread of invasive marine pests and protect the health of our coastal ecosystems. Marine pests threaten biodiversity, aquaculture, and recreational opportunities. By working collaboratively, we deliver practical solutions, share knowledge, and empower everyone to play a role in keeping our waters clean and thriving.
