Description: Events are a key component in the Sea Change – Tai Timu Tai Pari plan to inform and speak with people in Gulf communities. Project staff are active at key events that attract regular users of the Hauraki Gulf/Tikapa Moana.Armed with smiles and chocolate fish, the Sea Change – Tai Timu Tai Pari team invite visitors to identify their favourite places in the Hauraki Gulf by placing a heart sticker on a large Gulf map. The team introduces people to Sea Change – Tai Timu Tai Pari, offer brochures and posters and a chance to sign them up for the project newsletter. A high rate of newsletter sign-ups confirms the value of targeting events where Gulf users gather.We've been from one end of the Gulf to the other doing events and have gathered some fantastic contributions from the people of the Gulf. http://seachange.org.nz/The-Voices-of-the-Gulf/Events-across-the-Gulf/In addition to these events, two Love Our Gulf campaigns have targeted a further series of events, with more focus on youth.
