Stop Sandmining Bream Bay Ruakaka

  • Thank you for your support.

      2 September 2025

    Today the team have decided to close this down. We thank you all that have contributed, stood out in the rain, sailed out to sea, attended public meetings and more.

    The fight is not over with MCCALLUM bros and this Fast Track Bill destroying our beautiful marine life and communities that rely on it for food, tourism or local business. Head to our Facebook Page or contact Melissa Arseneault to help out.

    As part of our challenge, we are seeking to obtain underwater marine footage of 20-30m of water. Research vessels are our best chance of scanning the seafloor in the proposed dredge area.

    Please help by donating towards this cost and also obtaining technical reports.

    Kind regards

    Bream Bay Research Team.

    Originally it was the Fast Tracking NZ Govt Cabinet that was making the final decision. Now it has been changed to expert panel.

    We will endeavor to stay ahead of changes. Please keep raising the awareness and let's stop this project from happening and destroying our marine ecosystem habitats and local economy.

    Video shows the damage sandmining is causing already from MCCALLUM BROs at Pakiri and Mangawhai.

  • Mission: Stop Sandmining in Bream Bay

      27 December 2024

    Thank you for your help in spreading the word among the people who love, visit and live in Bream Bay Whangarei New Zealand.

    Sand mining dredging will also create a dead zone for marine life and deflects migrating fish away from normal paths. Soon we will ask "Where are all the fish in Bream Bay?".
